AROUND THE DISTRICT
This year we will strive to continue to create an environment “Where Everyone Belongs,” focusing specifically on the power of “Joy,” as it pertains to student self-discovery educationally and socially in an environment that promotes joyful school communities. We are excited to help students achieve the gains that come from navigating their educational journey, as they understand their strengths and opportunities for growth. We will provide an optimal teaching and learning environment by promoting respect for self and others, nurturing positive relationships, embracing diversity, pursuing excellence, fostering collaboration, inspiring innovation and creativity, promoting responsibility, providing an equitable, supportive environment, and cultivating social emotional wellness.
Excellent Learning Walk happened this week at DWS, FBMS, SRS...
