Message from Superintendent Dr. Lynn Moody
This time two years ago, committees were meeting to discuss the development of a new strategic
plan for our district. We had not yet identified that Literacy and Student Engagement would be our focus
for the following three years.
Since that time we have:
n Adopted a 3-year Strategic Plan
n Re-purposed funds for a digital conversion
n Deployed iPads and Laptops to students and staff
n Created a district-wide Literacy Framework
n Increased bandwidth and infrastructure
n Implemented a Visitor Identification System in schools
n Opened schools to community visits
n Provided recruitment fairs and hiring incentives
n Encouraged "go and see" opportunities for educators
n Developed key partnerships with:
n Apple
n Discovery Education
n Schoology
n Achieve3000
And the list goes on...
With all these and more additions, instruction has changed in
exciting ways. Classrooms are turning into collaborative learning
spaces and students are being challenged to become critical thinkers
and problem-solvers. Learning is fun and engaging for students.
Much has happened in a very short period of time and it is so
amazing to see how teachers are embracing the different styles as
students become involved learners. We still have far to go, but we
are making that turn and on our way.
Thank you for all you do to help us pave the way so our children
will have a brighter and more successful future.
Lynn Moody
Superintendent
