As always, our teachers have been modeling The Wildcat Way and focusing on building a collaborative classroom culture.
We understand that kids don't care what you know until they know that you care. So, a great deal of our efforts this week have been on getting to know our students and helping them to learn about us.
Our Instagram account has several pictures from the week that depict these relationship building activities.
One of the things that we frequently talk about as a staff is that we are about much more than test scores. We strive to make a difference in the lives of the students that we teach.
If you have four and a half minutes and some tissue (men, you may want to watch alone so nobody else sees you crying), check out the video below about a teacher that is retiring after 41 years in the business.
This teacher would fit right in with our faculty and demonstrates exactly what we strive to be about every day.
I'm looking forward to another great year of making a difference for students. Go Wildcats!
Tim Sparacino, Principal
