Message from Superintendent Dr. Lynn Moody Extraordinary Education Every day (E3) THIS IS OUR YEAR! This is the time of the year when kids and teachers are anxious for Spring Break – a time for rest, fun and also a time for rejuvenation. We need this extra boost of energy for the last leg of an extraordinary school year. Closely visible on our horizon are our end of year testing, celebrations and graduations. This time of year we also find ourselves deep into preparing a budget for next school year. I am encouraged at the cooperation between our newly elected leadership and our current elected leaders and I look forward to working together with them and our school staff in moving our schools and community forward. It has been a whirlwind year with so many new things happening as we continue to implement our strategic plan. Most prominently is our digital conversion that placed laptops and iPads into the hands of all our teachers, and our students in grades 3-12. This needed tool brought a refreshing air of excitement into classrooms, as well as into our homes, as we focus on increasing literacy and inviting our students into a more engaging learning experience. The push for literacy and digital conversion has involved our community through summits, conferences, and hotspot sponsorships providing a safe place so our students’ learning can be extended beyond the hours they are at school. This is how we improve, this is how we achieve higher goals, and this is how we achieve higher expectations; while working together with each other through creating positive collaborative and supporting relationships with each other. There are never enough words to express how grateful I am to work with colleagues in our schools and in our community that put children first. We have rolled up our sleeves, surged ahead, and we are quickly expanding the way teaching and learning is delivered in our schools. WE ARE ROWAN-SALSBURY SCHOOLS…AND WE ARE ON THE MOVE!
