Director of Schools - Staff Issue 7 - February 2022
Directors Corner -
We have successfully made it to February. As we all know, COVID-19 cases across the nation are rising, but I am optimistic that the surge will plummet soon. The school year is more than half over, and I know we are all relieved because it has been a hard year.
The start of the second half of the year has proven to be very successful, and I am so excited for what this semester has in store. I also know that things remain difficult for a multitude of reasons, but please remember you are making a difference in your students' education. After all, that is the reason each of us chose this career and it is the reason we love coming to work every day.
In a world that is so negative, let us do our best to focus on the positive things in our lives. If we can transition to focusing on the the good, our lives and school environment will also improve.
As we start over the hill toward finishing out the year, lets direct our attention to moving the academic needle with our students. Take time to review data, ask questions, and find ways to empower our students. We have made it this far and the next few months are crucial for the students. As each of you know, the second half of the year tends to be "fast and furious," so lets make every minute count!
As always, if you need me or if there are issues,
please reach out to me and let me know.

~ February ~
The month of February comes from the Latin word Februarius, meaning "to purify;" however, many people say that this month represents LOVE! Let us celebrate this month by showing acts of kindness, love, and support for one another. If we portray these things in our daily lives, it will spill over to the lives of our children.
