“What are you willing to do for change..."

Good morning!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that you took advantage of the great weather! I am hopeful that those that needed to get items done outside that you were able to do that injury free or breakdown free! Be careful to all the gentlemen out there who are heading up to put Christmas lights on their house because their wives down't believe in respecting the turkey :).

I wanted to tell you how proud I am of our staff. As you are aware, we had no school on Friday but that doesn't mean our great staff wasn't in and doing work! Our staff was in discussion our mission/vision statements, discussed the importance of our own mental health, principal meetings and then a gathering of our two committees that discussed grading and data. Our staff continues to go above and beyond and I could not be prouder of their efforts for our students and district!

Along those lines, what do we focus on? If the end results is all you care about, you will never change or grow as an individual. If you focus on that change, you will get results one way or another. What we strive to do is help our students realize that tests are not the end all be all. Although our state wants us to test, we continue to push our kids to go beyond the test. We want them to grow socially, emotionally and academically that will help them become successful young adults.

As a staff, we need to focus on us getting better professionally while also become the best person we can to support those around us. We love our students and will continue to be there for them as they grow. The end result we may not see in them for another 5, 10, 15 years but we want to see our students become successful young adults that carve their own way into this world. The result isn't about how well they do on a state test (although we do want them to do their best!) but we want them to grow as individuals.

We focus on change...for the best and we continue to strive for that! If you are looking for results, focus on the change and you will get the results!

Have a great Sunday and let's have a great week!

Quote of the week to make you think:

"If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results."

- Jack Dixon

Sincerely,

Tucker Tejkl
