District Building
Project Update
So many exciting things are taking place
with our facility project. With all of our
bid packages in, I am happy to report we
are $1.6 million under budget. Funds
have also been set aside as a contingency
for unexpected costs that may develop
with the project. In the weeks ahead, the
school board will be discussing options
for reinvesting these funds in our schools.
From the
District
The physical changes in our school district are what seem to be the focal point and topic of discussion.
This is great! These improvements are important in securing our entrances and expanding opportunities
for our students, staff, and community. However, what I am most proud of as we end the first month of
our school year is the work within the walls of our facilities.
At the heart of our work is preparing students for the next phase of their learning. The next phase
may be entering kindergarten, moving to the next grade level, and ultimately being college and career
ready. As each school closely examines the progress of its students, I am impressed with our results in
reading, math, and science.
One of our school district goals is to support teachers in their work to be innovative. This means
encouraging teachers to take risks as they create learning opportunities that are new and better for
our students. Many of our teachers have been reading The Innovators Mindset by George Couros to
help us empower learning, unleash talent, and lead a culture of creativity. Preparing students for what
lies ahead is an exciting journey.
When reflecting on all of the positive things taking place in
our schools, I also reflect on this important truth: none of
this could happen without the support of our families and
community. Thanks for seeing the value of our schools and
working with us to create an amazing place to live and learn.
