INSPIRE, ENGAGE, EMPOWER!
Digging into the 5 Essentials
Where we are currently: Our leadership team is still in the process of finishing up scoring ourselves on a rubric to determine our strengths as a school and areas for growth. Great discussion is taking place as we determine where North Side falls on the rubric. Leadership team members have been reaching out to colleagues for thoughts and feedback to assist in this scoring process. So, at this time, we are gathering data. This data will guide us to focus on areas for growth that will then be out into our School Improvement Plan for next school year. The other data point we are currently gathering is parent feedback. We sent out a survey this past week to gather their feedback in all 5 areas with a focus on engaging them more in our school. The next step will be both student and staff surveys to bring it all together.
Being effective leaders is so very important and our admin team strives to do just that! We know there are always areas for growth and we value your thoughts and ideas. Please don't hesitate to come share with us.
Great fire drill in February!
