It was a great day at work. I was able to work with our teams today in student meetings. Joy comes from being in a district that values students above all, and puts in the work to show it. Our teachers will lean in next week, with an instructional framework to guide the way. Students, see you Monday; this is going to be an excellent year! #180DaysOfJoy

An unbelievable day 1 back with staff. I am joyful that we have a strategic plan and instructional framework in place that is already guiding our efforts. Thanks to our great staff for the full day of learning today. Thanks as well to Side-by-Side Consulting. Tonight we were able to see most of our students as well - it is nice to have their energy back in the building. One week until we get that every day. #180DaysOfJoy
