Number 1 District....
In our recent board retreat, the board unanimously agreed they wanted to be the Number 1 District. Please reflect on the characteristics you believe would make us the Number 1 district, and be ready to share at our January Leadership meeting.
Budget Priorities
As we begin planning the budget for the FY 16 school year, we need parent and community input. We have held four Town Hall meetings, but we want to ensure we have given our parents the opportunity to share their priorities. During your January or February SIC/PTA meetings, please get parents to give you feedback on priorities. Our power point will be posted on the web site, and we will have a way for parents to provide feedback. We ask, however, that you also obtain feedback from parents at SIC, PTA and other meetings. These need to be submitted to Elaine Bilton before the end of February. Every school is required to turn in documentation on its schools priorities.
Half Marathon
Congratulations to Pat Maness and Shane Goodwin on their half marathon on Kiawah Island this weekend! We are proud of you both!
Principal Mid Year Evaluations
Thank you to all principals for your mid-year evaluation conference. We enjoyed learning more about your goals and priorities for your school! I am very impressed with what you are doing at your schools! Great job to each of you!
