John Dewey Academy of Learning * November 2019 *
A message from the Green Bay Area Public School District Board of Education:
Dear Green Bay Area Public School District Families:
Our school district is embarking on the search for the next superintendent of schools and we are asking for your help! We want to learn your thoughts about the current state of our school district as well as what you think are the most important qualifications and characteristics for our next leader. Your feedback matters to us and we will use what you have to say to create a Leadership Profile and the framework of a job description for the new superintendent.
We are seeking your input in the following ways:
SUPERINTENDENT SEARCH SURVEY - Please complete this 7-10 minute survey, answering each question honestly. Your answers are kept completely confidential. Our consultant, Hazard, Young, & Attea (HYA), will compile and analyze the feedback and provide the Board of Education with a detailed report based on the findings. The survey will close on Monday, November 11.
FOCUS GROUPS - Multiple focus groups have been scheduled so that HYA can hear from various perspectives. A focus group for parents/families has been scheduled for November 14, 6:30 p.m., at the District Office Building (200 S. Broadway), Room 331. We strongly encourage you to attend - we want your voice to be heard.
You can follow the superintendent search process at the following website: gbaps.org/superintendentsearch
As always, thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Board of Education
Event Night #1
Students are expected to wear professional clothing, perhaps something similar to what they would wear as a guest to a wedding. This means definitely no jeans, sweatpants, or ripped clothing. We also encourage students to wear comfortable clothing and footwear. They will be standing and talking for two hours. We also recommend students wear clothing that will help them stay cool. It can get very warm with so many people in the building.
Students who need help with finding clothing items to wear should please talk to a staff member. We will help students find something in our caring closet or locate necessary items.
Family members should arrive no sooner than 5pm please. Students need the time after school ends to set up their stations, eat some pizza provided by school, and change into their professional clothing. We also ask that all families ensure their children are picked up at 7pm so staff can get home to their families for bedtime routines.
Thank you for supporting your child's learning! We can't wait to see you at Event Night.
