Superintendent Note – August 2018
It is time to kick off a brand new school year! There aren’t many things as exciting as the promise of a brand new school year. Everyone starts fresh and has an opportunity to make this the best year of learning yet. The rooms are ready and filled with inspirational sayings, bright colors, and loads of informative text. School supplies have been purchased and the teachers are hoping the Kleenex lasts all year! Fall sporting and fine arts activities have begun and everyone is hopeful of a successful season. So much to be grateful for at this time of year. I am thrilled to lead the district in a positive direction for the eighth year and appreciative of all the people who work hard to make this a strong district. I am especially thankful to the custodians because our buildings are shining right now.
We have a number of new faces in the district and would like to welcome them to the district. Here are there names–if you see them in the future, please make them feel welcome!
