Superintendent's Message to Staff
Dear Faculty and Staff,
Last week while speaking with a brand-new teacher, I asked what led her to a teaching career. She told me she’s always known that she wants to do meaningful work and her reply has resonated with me. That term really sums it up; because whether you are a teacher or serve in another capacity in our public school system, you are doing meaningful work for your students and colleagues. I know what you do is hard work, but hopefully very satisfying to you, so as we conclude another school year, please reflect with pride on the successes you have achieved.
Summer in the Schools is always busy! We’re glad it’s an extra long summer because there are major projects going on: parking lot paving; lots of cleaning; Summer Institutes (for kids and adults! -- There are more summer PD offerings for adults than ever offered before and we have the highest number of students registered for CHAMPS programs); administrative, office, and technology preparation; athletic and performing arts practices; summer school and extended year services. And, oh yes--- a little construction project at MHS where the back wall of windows and doors will be removed and replaced. So, as we take a deep breath after the 18-19 school year, we are already gearing up for 2019-20.
Save the Dates:
Although there are hundreds of people in district every day during the summer, we try to set aside some uninterrupted work time for our office staff; hence our schools schedule “office hours.” Please check your school’s website for schedules.
Tuesday, July 9: Family Fun Night in downtown Mansfield. Bring your families to this fun evening and make sure you stop by the schools’ tent to say “Hi”.
Monday, August 19: First day that classrooms will be open for set up.
Wednesday & Thursday, August 21-22: District Leadership team meetings. We will be out of the office for most of these two days.
Wednesday, August 28: New Teacher Orientation day. Mentors and the MEA leadership team are invited to join their new teachers at lunch.
Thursday, August 29: Open House in the Mansfield Public Schools from 12-3 for all who would like to attend.
Tuesday, September 3: First day back for faculty and staff.
Wednesday, September 4: First day of the 2019-2020 school year.
In closing, thank you for the contributions you have made to our schools this year and my very best wishes for the summer.
Sincerely,
Teresa Murphy
Superintendent
