Like many, I thought about a resolution or intention for the year. I read an article recently that mentioned there is a difference between resolutions and intentions. Resolutions typically focus on actions, goals, and outcomes. Intentions focus on how one approaches life, as they provide clarity on how one will live their life differently. Both require a conscientious effort to improve your life. In RBUSD, measurable actions and goals are important to ensure we are working together towards a shared vision. As important, is to reflect on how we can each positively impact others’ goals, intentions, and Ikigai. Often, our life’s worth is enhanced when we focus on enhancing the lives of others. I hope you will join me in this mindset.
As we begin 2024 and continue our current school year, reflection has reminded me of the exponential impact we have as a united school community. Team RBUSD is committed to prioritizing student and staff safety while keeping a focus on academic growth and social emotional wellbeing. Simply put, we want all students to thrive both in and out of the classroom and enjoy their experience while they journey through this amazing school district. To this end, your partnership is vital. We all have the ability to make a positive impact on our students and on each other. By working together toward our strategic plan goals, doing our individual part, assuming positive intent, and being kind to each other (even during difficult times), we can provide a better experience for our students. Together, we have collectively created a school community that is thriving. Let us keep the momentum going in 2024!
Being a part of the RBUSD community is my Ikigai. I hope it is yours, too.
Cheers,
Nikki Wesley
Your Superintendent
