Superintendent's Weekly Update
June 16, 2023
Incoming Superintendent Highlights - Jason Sample
This has been an eventful week in the GCC! On Wednesday, I was honored to invite a group of parents to join me for "Dinner with the Superintendent." The parents had the opportunity to share some of their hopes and dreams for how we can best prepare their children for the future. On Thursday, the GCC Admin team came together for our End of Year Admin Retreat. The day was full of content, learning, and planning. I would like to affirm Dr. Heather Gold, Joi Tikoi, Morri Elliott, Melissa DeMarco, and Lydia Jay for all of your support, planning, and leading, and I would like to affirm our administrators for bringing your curiosity and heart to our work. A few other highlights from this week are as follows;
- Attended the EV36 Symposium on Sunday to see our SAVA EV project on global display at the Sacramento Convention Center
- Concluded administrator's ROAP Evaluations- Thank each of you for your thoughtful reflections and insightful conversations
- Meeting with GCC Virtual Academy Team
- Development work on the GCC Blueprint for Excellence document
- Attended the Sacramento Police Commission Meeting
As we move to the summer break, this will be the last Friday Letter for the 2022-23 School Year. I hope your summer days are filled with amazing adventures, rest, and reflection. I am looking forward to seeing everyone in July when we return, ready to elevate our impact.
