Dedicated & Inspired Staff Positive Community

While the network continually makes gains to establish consistency across schools, each campus has a unique set of students, staff, and administration contributing to performance, culture, and complementing the inherent differences between different grade-level schools (es, ms, hs). As a staff member at the elementary school, I see some very real causes for celebration: Commitment to One Mission: Also an organizational value, it's clear staff are dedicated to the success of young people. They bring their experiences and perspectives to push for equity and inclusion, seek and return with training to push innovative teaching methods, and collaborate on instruction, activities, and on a personal level to bring to community together. Work-Life Balance: The shared commitment of all staff extends not only to students but to one another. It is not difficult to find support or coverage when needed, there is understanding of a need for a certain level of personal care and consideration of life circumstances. Efforts toward equity, however rudimentary, and inclusion extend to all people in the building. Freedom to Innovate: There are certainly tasks and duties required within the role of each individual, but within those roles, there is the freedom to bring in one's perspective and experience to appropriately address the needs or wants of the community. Teachers can open age-appropriate and timely discussions in class, staff are invited to propose solutions to community issues, and feedback is welcome - if not always systematically captured.
