Cougar "Prints"
Week of June 5
We are almost there! thank you, thank you, thank you
I hope that even though it sounds cliche', it is true for each of us. Even in all the blood, sweat, and tears poured into our students and in support of each other, I hope each of you can say you had fun and enjoyed yourself (most of the time). I completely understand that at times it is difficult, but when you look back at the 2017-18 school year, I want you to think of the fun times over the course of the year. They joys of the "ah ha" moments, fun conversations with colleagues that allowed you to belly laugh (I read an article once that said each person should average approximately 6 belly laughs a day to reduce stress and blood pressure by releasing endorphin - faking it was also shown to work just as well as genuine laughs), and be proud of what you have been able to accomplish as a professional and as a person this past year.
As we approach our last few days of the 16-17 school year, let's finish strong. Like Donna said in her email last night about the power outage, we see ingenuity and creativity in even the most difficult of situations, and I know that I speak for her, too, when I say that she and I are so incredibly proud of each of you for all that you have done this school year!
2016-2017 CCS School-based Staff Satisfaction Survey
Please check your email for the link provided by Dr. Lowder. As with the teacher working conditions survey, I strongly value to the feedback provided by each and every one of you. Just as we did this year, we will align our professional development plan, school improvement plan, and our every day procedures to continue to meet the needs of all stakeholders in our school community.
