A Focus on the Campus Vision Pillar of Family
As I close out this Christmas/Winter break, I feel a great sense of thankfulness for the many blessings that our work as educators in Batesville and Uvalde CISD has allowed me. I look back at the professional ups and downs of our first semester, and I know that those are an inherent part of the life-cycle of families. I know that just like in our personal families, our happiness ebbs and flows. That is human nature. However, I also know that family is forever, just like our work each day as educators is forever. Right now, I have a peg board in my office with pictures of former students who have reached out to me, and reminded me of how important our work is to the lives our students, their families, and our community. Teachers matter! Our team may not always agree with each other on every decision (to do so would be impossible), but it is so vital to our mission that we look inside of ourselves and push ourselves to remember in every moment that we rely on each other in order for our mission and vision to reach its full potential. We need to look beyond disagreements that begin to crack our resolve, and find the commonality of LOVE and FAMILY that will help us to carry out our HIGH EXPECTATIONS for ourselves and our students as we strive for the EXCELLENCE I know that we are capable of.
