SSSD November Newsletter
Dear Steamboat Springs School District Community:
Thanksgiving is right around the corner. For me, it is always a reminder to reflect on what I am grateful for each day. First and foremost, I am grateful for our staff. Our dedicated and professional staff is the backbone of Steamboat Springs School District. I visit schools often and witness firsthand the passion and enthusiasm our staff has for all students. We are extremely fortunate.
Dr. Tim Ridder, Director of Teaching and Learning, Katie Jacobs, Director of Human Resources, and I have been meeting with staff as a follow-up to our recent climate and culture survey to understand their experiences as SSSD employees. One of the biggest takeaways from these meetings is the desire for staff members to be recognized for a job well done. Please join me in thanking a staff member. We often get caught up in what is going wrong instead of focusing on what is going well. I challenge everyone to take two minutes every day and recognize the positives. A heartfelt and genuine “thank you” goes a long way. I can confidently say this small gesture will make an enormous impact on someone’s day.
On behalf of the entire Steamboat Springs School District, I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving break.
Sincerely,
Dr. Celine Wicks, Superintendent
