Welcome Back Glen Lake Staff!
2018-19 School Year
Who's Ready?
My summer was mostly filled with observing front-loaders and bulldozers in between tracking and organizing furniture deliveries, but I was able to enjoy Boston, Zach Brown Band, boating, and watching my boys play baseball.
As we approach workshop week, I believe that our district is in a special and critical time. We are all part of our district's vision to improve the educational experience for our students. We are presented with the opportunity to think differently about our instruction and the student learning experience. We have permission to try new, innovative strategies, structures, and practices with the understanding that failing is accepted and understood. As your leader, I want to support you in every way possible. That means being there to listen during times of frustration and confusion, to provide ideas and encouragement during times of trial, and to offer congratulations and applause during times of success. If I can say "Yes", I will, knowing that we all are moving in the same direction of continuous improvement that our kids deserve!
Front Loop coming along!!
