During my
first year in the district, I continue to be amazed by the support
this community offers its schools and the tireless service that
the District employees provide students and families. I don’t just
mean passing the budget, which was outstanding. Certainly that is
important and encouraging, but other efforts such as the PTA’s
tireless work for all three schools seem to prosper through the
generosity of this community.
From the District’s side, I have witnessed teachers spend untold
hours studying to hone their skills, prepare lessons, and develop
curriculum. I have witnessed staff staying after hours until every
child is picked up and working overtime to ensure that the
services and facilities are ready for students when they arrive.
Administrators in this district spend endless hours working with
parents, students, and staff. Then, after everyone has left for
the day, they review assessment data and take home work so they
can be prepared to start a new day with their staff and continue
the promise of an excellent education for all.
When a community cares
as much as this one, it is my duty to communicate our efforts,
progress, and growth areas effectively. We have made good use of
our website,
www.bloomingdaleschools.org,
which now contains District, school, even classroom information.
I
look forward to another wonderful, productive year working with
the Bloomingdale students, teachers, support staff, and parents
along with the supportive community that has made its schools so
successful.
