The Middle Update 6/4/2018

I want to thank everyone for your hard work and focus during the last week of school.  Students were engaged right up through the end, and I believe that we ended the year on a positive note.  Our students have left feeling good, and secretly looking forward to all that next school year has to offer.  As we head into the summer, it's important for everyone to take some time to recharge the battery.

The summer here at school will be spent preparing for how we can continue to improve at providing the type of learning environment that our students and community deserve.  There will be multiple opportunities for professional development, and I will be reviewing our student achievement data, Puma Pride data, school climate survey data, and our staff survey data to start planning for the activities that we all will engage in to continue our ascension upwards.

I truly appreciate each member of our staff.  I feel very fortunate to be able to lead a group of educators that is so committed to the kids.  I am happy that summer is here and everyone gets to chance to enjoy all that summer has to offer, but I also truly look forward to welcoming you all back to continue the great work that we do here in our school.

Feel free to contact me at any time throughout the summer about anything.  Have a great one!
