Administration

Hello Eagleside Family!!

My name is Karisa Legg and I am honored and grateful to be joining the family as your new Principal. I was born and raised in Southern California, but I have spent the past 15 years in Salem, Oregon. While we loved our time in the Pacific NorthWest, we are thrilled to be in Colorado and soak up a little (ok, a lot) more sunshine. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 4 amazing kiddos ages 7, 6, 4, and 2; two of which have joined the Eagleside family as well.  We are a very active family and love all things sports and outdoors, including team sports (especially baseball), running, hiking, paddle boarding, etc. I come to you in my second year as an AP with prior experience as an instructional coach, reading specialist and having taught grades 1^st through 4^th.  I am passionate about making school feel like home for students, their families and our staff. Thank you for             welcoming me into your community and I look forward to serving you and your students!

I am truly honored and excited to join the Eagleside community as your new Assistant Principal! My top priority is to build strong, meaningful relationships with our students, families, and staff. I look forward to working alongside each of you to support and empower our students to reach their fullest potential. Together, this will be another great year at Eagleside!

Hi! I’m Jenni Kinkennon, the Dean of Students. In my third year at Eagleside, I am excited to work with the students and families as we foster a sense of community, compassion, and continued growth and achievement. After earning my MA in teaching from Colorado College, I developed a passion for supporting students and our education system. I spent the first 12 years of my career in the classroom teaching 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th grades. Now, in my second year as Dean, I oversee behavior, attendance, assessment, safety procedures, and gifted programming. I absolutely love coming to Eagleside everyday to work with our incredible students and staff. Outside of school I enjoy all things Colorado. As a native, my love of the mountains has kept me from moving anywhere else. I have three incredible kids; they are my world. My oldest is 16 and a senior at Fountain Fort Carson HS, my son is 14 and in his freshmen year at FFCHS, and my youngest is 11 and in 6^th grade at Fountain MS.

Hi! My name is Erin Murphy, and I’m so excited to be starting my third year as the school counselor at Eagleside Elementary. I’ve been in education for 18 years and have had the privilege of working with students from kindergarten through high school. Along the way, I’ve taught PE, worked as a middle school counselor, and discovered just how much I love helping students grow both academically and socially.

I’m originally from New York, but I’ve lived in Colorado for the past 10 years. My husband is also a teacher, and we have two daughters who are proud to be part of our Eagleside family too! When I’m not at school, I enjoy reading, exercising, and spending time with my family. I’m also a big sports fan—you’ll often find me cheering for the Buffalo Bills and the New York Yankees

I feel so lucky to be part of the Eagleside community and look forward to supporting our students and          families this year!

Hello Eagleside Community!
My name is Cindy Goodwyn, and I’m excited to begin my 20th year as a school psychologist and my 9th year serving the wonderful students and families of Eagleside as part of FFC8. My passion for school psychology is rooted in a deep commitment to helping students grow, succeed, and thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally. I value collaboration and enjoy working closely with families, school staff, and community partners to develop effective supports and services tailored to each student's needs. As a proud military spouse, I’ve had the opportunity to work in schools across the country, and our family is now grateful to call Colorado home. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors—whether it’s kayaking, camping, or riding ATVs with my husband of 30 years and our family.

                                          Please feel free to reach out if you have questions about special education or are looking for support resources                                              within the school or community. I’m here to help!
