Team Columbia
Average is OFFICIALLY over!
Welcome to the 2019-2020 School Year!
Team Columbia:
As we open the 2019-2020 school year, I cannot help to reflect on the talent and the expertise of the our entire faculty and staff this year. We are ready to continue on four years on an upward trajectory. Some of you been along for the ride as we are beginning the fifth year of our journal together. Some of you have joined us along the way are beginning with us this year. Whatever the case our shared goal and commitment is to improve and continue to move forward.
As our students enter the hallways, please remember to hold one another to our school-wide processes discussed in our faculty meeting. Set your expectations day one and do not waiver. Ensure that positive relationships begin to form day one. Be fair, firm and consistent.
I am absolutely confident that we will have a great opening to the school year. Your hard work and diligence of during this past week was evident of that and had not gone unnoticed.
Have a great week of teaching and learning!
