Principal’s Prose
Greeting Team,
I hope that each of you has had a great weekend full of rest, rejuvenation and relaxation! Given that this is my 19th year in servicing the students of our great district, I know that one thing is for certain, “there’s no tired like first week teacher tired!”
As we reflect on what I’ll describe as a wildly successful and smooth first week at Sudie TAG, I can’t help but to think of the many journeys traveled which have positioned us here now, as one. With a full catalogue of colorfully diverse and well developed backgrounds, we are rich with talent, skill and experiences (some super entertaining!) that contribute to a wonderful collective. What’s most impressive, and important is how the culture of our campus reflects who WE are. I have received several emails, text messages and other expressions of happiness from families about what we have created thus far. The great news is, we’ve only just begun!
Keep up the great work, as the focus on culture will be ongoing and ever evolving. This week we plan on rolling out both our Kindle Kickoff for 4th and 5th grade students, well as the Leader in Me for all students. We’re also looking forward to our class meetings, where students will learn the student code of conduct as well as the dynamics of the “Houses” they will reside in this year. Lastly, as we shift towards focusing on the instructional lens of our work, classroom “look-fors” instructional calendars, team planning and prepping for our first PLC will be priorities.
There’s lots to do, but who better to do it all with the SOARING “first class” team of Sudie TAG!
Make it a GREAT week!
Sincerely,
MJ
