Chippewa Chirp
September 2018
Welcome Back!
I love this time of year and am so glad to have you as a part of it! I am honored to be starting in my fourth year as your superintendent in this amazing district.
Last year was a tough year. More than I can remember in any past years, the challenges of our families and community spilled into our schools. You’ve seen the statistics. They are staggering at times. There isn’t a single school that was left unaffected. By the end of last year, the work of supporting our students, our families, and each other -- combined with the winter that would not end -- had taken its toll on everyone.
One of the many wonderful aspects of working in education is that we get a restart every year. As we return this fall, I have the greatest sense of hope for our future that I have ever felt. We have talented people and a solid plan. We are on our way!
Thank you for choosing to be a part of the important work ahead. Thank you for choosing Chippewa Falls as the place to share your talent. Thank you for your commitment to our school and community. Our best years are still to come; and, I am looking forward to sharing them with you. We will all get there together.
Best,
Heidi
