Up Ahead: Summer Preparation
We have created work plans and schedules as we move toward Phase 3. Necessary signage will be posted throughout the week, as well as informing the community of hours of availability.
I want to extend a huge Thank You to the schools and IS for landing the plane successfully. This was no easy feat but finishing the school year strong was our goal and we achieved it.

Take the Time to Climb: Principle -- Behavior
Going Beyond...
#NCCVTWorks for Equity in Action.
Our learning falls nto three buckets:
1. Greater knowledge and understanding of diversity and equity among all administrators
2. Supporting our students and staff in multiple ways
3. Ensuring our system is equitable
The following podcast, an interview with Ibram X. Kendi, is a powerful call to action. As administrators, at every level and within every position, it is our responsibility to willingly confront and alter the barriers that may prevent any of our students from learning.
Each week, I will provide a podcast, article, or story that will help us continue to grow and deeper our understanding of some of the barriers our students may face. I am very grateful that we started our work last year on developing trust among one another and for delving into trauma informed care. Both are critical for us to approach challenging conversations and to have empathy towards various experiences.
Even this week, we had a student post unacceptable and racist comments on social media. I will start a padlet page for us to capture our thoughts throughout the summer.
Listen to Brené with Ibram X. Kendi on How to Be an Antiracist from June 2, 2020 on Apple Podcasts. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bren%C3%A9-with-ibram-x-kendi-on-how-to-be-an-antiracist/id1494350511?i=1000476611079
