Message from Dr. Correa
Dear D56 Families,
I trust this message finds you well and that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your families. As we return from this brief but rejuvenating break, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the spirit of gratitude and express my thanks for the continued partnership between home and school.
Looking ahead, we have an exciting and busy time throughout the district. There are upcoming events, projects, and learning opportunities that will engage and challenge our students. Your continued involvement and support are vital to their success, and we are grateful for the strong partnership we share. At the same time, we recognize that this time of the year can bring a different type of stress to daily life, so please reach out if you need assistance or simply have questions or concerns.
I want to continue to highlight the Portrait of a Graduate. As a reminder, the D56 Portrait of a Graduate identifies competencies at each grade level that will build a community of students and professionals working on common goals. As a district, this year our goal is to raise awareness of the seven competencies that make up the Portrait of a Graduate.
While every school might take a different approach to raising awareness of each competency, the entire district will focus on the same competency for a period of time. Over the last month, we have focused on raising awareness of the Engaged Collaborator competency.
You can view the Engaged Collaborator traits for each grade level on the D56 Portrait of a Graduate website by clicking on the icon shown above. We encourage you to review the traits of an Engaged Collaborator and have conversations with your child(ren) on what it means to demonstrate those traits.
Thank you once again for your partnership in education.
Dr. Luis Correa
Superintendent
