Happy New Year
Dear Colina Parents-
As we begin 2020, I want to wish you and your family a Happy New Year! With each New Year comes a renewed commitment to those things which we believe are most important, often through the time-honored tradition of New Year’s resolutions. We are in a great time of change this year at Colina and have made adjustments to our schedule with collaborative planning time for teachers to improve student achievement, created an Academy of Technology and Spin Lab along with implementing our 21st century learning environments. All of these changes will bring significant improvement to how we teach but more importantly how our students learn and succeed. I wanted to share a message that your child’s teacher will receive from me as we anticipate their return tomorrow, perhaps there is something in it for you as well:
Over the winter break I hope you had time to reflect, find, focus and prioritize the important things in your life (the people and relationships) as we embark on 2020. Before you can be your best, you must be sure to nurture and prioritize who you are; Person of Faith, Father/Mother, Brother/Sister, Friend, and Colleague before being proficient at what you all do so well, TEACH. I admire each of you as masters of your craft, continue to be open to new ideas and look for best practices as critical thinking and technological strategies fill your tool chest. Remember as a teacher every interaction, lesson and child counts. Be reflective, and mindful in your trade, but don’t be afraid to try new things and share with each other your successes. This is a great faculty with much to offer each other, so here is to a great 2020!
Welcome back and we are looking forward to see you-
Mr. Frank
