Hello Foster's Finest,
First and foremost, I want to extend a big thank you to everyone who has been involved in the events taking place during the last week. The PTO Social was a HUGE success. We are very grateful for our families’ support of our school curriculum enrichment program. The "Bike to School" event was so wonderful to watch as our students arrived at school yesterday. Thank you to all of the parent volunteers and staff that helped to make this such a success. One of the reasons I wanted to be the Principal of Foster was the sense of community and this really shone thorought this event! Finally, I want to thank the Green Team parent volunteers for their help with the program that took place on the half-day on Wednesday. What an absolutely incredible week that our school community has had! Things are starting to feel like normal again for our students, our families, and the staff. It certainly has been my favorite week so far to be a part of this school.
Our staff has worked hard this week during our professional development day and our grade level data meetings. As we do this work to implement our Tiered Systems of Support for Students, I am reminded that some of the easiest changes that we administrators implement are technical changes. The work we are doing has technical parts to it, but this is truly an adaptive change that we are making to improve the instruction we provide our students. Adaptive change is challenging, and it takes time for us to have the professional conversations needed to make this effective. The professional development time is important for us to do this work. Half days are not always easy on families, but know that this is not down time for our staff, but instead time for us to become better at our craft.
As we head into this weekend, I am proud to be a part of this school community. Speaking of being proud, today was our first Spirit Day, and it was so exciting to see everyone wearing their Foster "swag" proudly.
Mr. Scheufele
