Springs Studio for Academic Excellence, February Edition
A Note from Executive Principal, Mr. Knoche
As we prepare for the 2020-2021 school year, we have been anxiously preparing for the opportunities in our new space that is being constructed. Please like us on Facebook at Springs Studio for Academic Excellence. We are posting updates to our construction, which is going exceptionally well. Additionally, please keep your eyes open for emails inviting families to be a part of our town hall meetings. We will be sending out information before spring break.
Parent/Student Climate Survey
The climate survey is a useful tool for administrators to hear from students, parents, and staff regarding important topics like safety, bullying/harassment and mental health. The climate survey will be open Feb. 3 - Feb 14. Our goal is to reach at least 85%, so D49 leaders have solid data to help us learn how to enhance the culture and climate in all D49 schools.
Student Survey Line - Middle and High School
Coffee with the Principal
We want to invite parents to join us for "Coffee with the Principal." A relaxed setting to have some great conversations about SSAE. We would love for you to bring questions, concerns, or suggestions about SSAE to our meeting. There are ten slots available for this meeting. We will have monthly meetings, so please only sign up once. This way we can have a new group of people each month!
We are looking forward to conversations about improving student success!
Pizza with the Principal for Middle & High School Students
Student voice matters, and so does a great lunch. Why not combine those two? I want to offer an opportunity for students to meet in a small group with me, Mr. Knoche, to share their experiences to help shape and refine the climate and culture of Springs Studio. I am looking for 12 students (different each month) to meet with me and share pizza and ideas. I will provide pizza, and you can share your ideas. Please sign up and bring ideas about how we can improve, tweak, or address certain issues at Springs Studio. This is a solution-minded get together, so you have to bring solutions if you want to see changes. I look forward to meeting with everyone.
