Lloyd McFarlane is Chesnut’s Assistant Principal.  Having served field of education since 1997 — as a classroom teacher, instructional lead teacher, and as an administrator, Mr. McFarlane appreciates the importance of a strong bond between home and school.  Each year he looks forward to working with a community of capable students, supportive and caring parents, and a determined staff who strive on a daily basis to teach our girls and boys the importance of strength of character and leadership as they work to become college ready.
 
As Chesnut’s administration is committed to providing an environment where student achievement is a top priority, Mr. McFarlane encourages all Chesnut parents to continue an active role in their child’s education.  By working together, he believes we can ensure that every Chesnut student is set on a path of academic excellence.

Welcome to Chesnut Elementary! I am honored to serve as the Assistant Principal of Elementary Instruction and to be part of such an incredible school community. I believe learning never stops, and that same belief continues to guide my work every day.

 

I am passionate about helping every student succeed and supporting our teachers in creating meaningful learning experiences. I also believe that strong partnerships with families are essential to student success. My door is always open, and I am committed to listening, collaborating, and working alongside parents and our community to support Chesnut Elementary's vision and mission.

 

As a lifelong learner, I am dedicated to continuous growth. I regularly pursue professional learning beyond the district's required training to stay current with research and best practices, ensuring I can better serve our students, staff, and families.

 

It is truly a privilege to serve the Chesnut Elementary community. I look forward to building lasting relationships with our families and working together to ensure every student feels supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential.
