West Irondequoit CSD update from Aaron Johnson
October 22, 2021
Dear Families,
Today ends the New York State School Board Association's (NYSSBA) Board Recognition Week. Throughout the week, our staff and students celebrated our seven board members with videos and cards to show their appreciation for our team's tireless service and steady governance. Thank you, Board of Education, for helping to ensure every child is welcomed, nurtured, and inspired, especially during these unprecedented times.
Yesterday, building principals presented this year's focus areas to the Board of Education, colleagues and community. Thanks to our new Strategic Plan, this year's focus areas reflect a well-aligned K-12 effort to strengthen areas such as culturally responsive education, communication, data-driven practices, social-emotional learning and many others. Through our planning efforts people asked for clarity, alignment, and cohesion. This year's focus areas deliver all three and more.
To view the 2021-22 Focus Area Presentation in its entirety, please click HERE. The video will be posted this afternoon and can be viewed any time later at your convenience.
Last, a personal story. Earlier this week, my vehicle was rear-ended by a distracted driver at a crosswalk near the main campus of IHS and Dake. Knowing the painful loss our community has suffered in the past, I must share my story. As the days grow shorter and the weather worsens, please stay focused when driving our streets. Whether it's a cell phone, the radio, or others in the vehicle, taking your eyes off the road can have dire consequences. Thankfully, this time, it was just my truck.
Let's commit to putting our children's safety first and stay focused when driving.
In partnership,
Aaron R. Johnson, Ed. D
Superintendent of Schools
