As we enter the month of November and approach Thanksgiving, I am reminded of how thankful I am for the tremendous progress our strategic coordination and inquiry teams have made.
To date, our three inquiry teams have started to merge on a regular basis to analyze the data collected throughout various events and surveys over the past six months. Team members have also started to go through current research around each topic and identify the areas they want to learn more about and what additional information they need to collect from the stakeholders in our school community. Once a month, each team shares their progress and findings with the Strategic Coordination Team. Based on the information shared last month, I am excited to learn about what direction the teams are going based on their latest meeting.
The first part of our District’s theme this year, “This is Chagrin” allows us to embrace our core values, beliefs, and strong traditions– to recognize what matters most to our students, staff, parents, alumni and school community. The second part of our theme, “Write the Story,” allows us not only to find and share the stories that define our past, but also begin to write the introductions for our future.
Focusing on high-quality learning experiences, student and staff well being, and strategic resourcing allows us to reflect on the lessons learned over the past few years, and imagine the possibilities for the future. Most importantly it sets our direction as we begin to write the next chapter of our story.
