Transforming Educational Delivery

FOR ALL STAFF
From March 16, 2020 until the end of the school year all district staff worked to transform the education of our students and our communication with families and the community. Whether handing out Chromebooks, meals, library books, Internet hotspots, cleaning our facilities, or collecting/distributing belongings, staff worked in unexpected ways. Turning face-to-face education into emergency distance learning was truly a collaborative effort. Teachers and support staff worked tirelessly to reach every student. On behalf of the Curriculum and Instruction Department: thank you! The work you did in these  circumstances was outstanding. We will come back in fall and be prepared to provide an education for our students that meets our vision of Excellence For All regardless of the format.


FOR ALL TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS: Feedback Critical for Fall Planning
A portion of the day on June 5 was spent in grade level, department, and site-based teams sharing lessons learned and providing feedback on the distance learning experience to the district. I have had the opportunity to hear some of the feedback, details on the conversations that were held, and more on some of the themes. Thank you for really taking the time to discuss and share. The results of this collaboration are going to be discussed in depth with the district leadership team at our June meeting. If the preview that I have received on the work done on June 5 is any indication, the impact on the district moving forward will be profound.
