Warrior Weekly Word - August 1-15, 2018
Welcome into 2018-19!
July 2018
Welcome Back!! It's almost time to come back and continue to make a difference in the lives of the 1000+ students we serve. Since our campus has made great strides in transitioning to having students and teachers use 21st century technology devices and apps, our weekly staff newsletters will be digital, as well as a monthly family newsletter. We will be utilizing Google Classroom for staff information, policies, protocols, and announcements, as well as email as needed. Please accept the invite emailed to you, or join the class 7r8zfz4.
During your time away from Standard Middle, I hope you have had a chance to rejuvenate and become inspired about the amazing work you do as educators. This is probably one of the best summers I have had in several years. Spending time with my family in Boston and Las Vegas, and at home has certainly been centering and rejuvenating. Over the summer I typically devour books, both fiction and nonfiction. I especially liked "Innovator's Mindset" by George Couros, Dan Brown's "Origin", and "The Energy Bus" by Jon Gordon. What did you read? Where did you go?
What a great year 2018-19 will be. I am thrilled to be at SMS, and am very much looking forward to a fantastic year! Warrior Pride! We Have It!
