Good morning!
With some of the beautiful days we had last week it is difficult to imagine that in a very short time ours students will be back at school. I know that many of you have spent time on your own personal learning and growth this summer. Thanks for your investment in your practice that I know will benefit our students. The custodial and maintenance teams have been busy working to get buildings ready for the upcoming school year and the administrative team has done an outstanding job hiring for open positions. The excitement around the district is growing, awaiting the most important part of the equation – all of you – to return to help kick off what I am sure will be an excellent school year.
During the month of September I will be establishing a Superintendent’s Advisory Council that will meet monthly. I am hoping that at least two teachers from each building would be willing to participate in this important group. Look for more information by email on this opportunity during the first week of school.
Principals will be contacting you directly about the schedule for Monday, August 28th which is the first day in district. On Tuesday, August 29th we will begin at 8:00 with breakfast in the lobby outside of the Performing Arts Center at the Middle School. Our program will kick off at 8:30 in the auditorium. The theme of our time together will be “What Inspires You?†We hope that you will share via Twitter images that inspire you by tagging them with #GDRSDinspiresme.
Please enjoy the last week of summer. I look forward to meeting you all on August 29th.
Best regards,
Laura
