The Superintendent Who Turned Around A School District

It certainly has been a whirlwind, and I appreciate your kind, encouraging words and your support. Traditionally, a new leader is given his or her first days to meet with key constituencies and to implement changes. There are only 47 days left in the school year, so my timeframe definitely is compressed. Students First During the next few weeks, I will visit each of our schools and spend time in our classrooms. The image of what a 21st century classroom looks like continues to evolve, and although technology certainly plays a significant role in our classrooms, nothing can take the place of excellent teachers who challenge and inspire their students.

Departments

Our commitment to placing teachers and staff members who are student-centered remains. We will continue to ensure that our classrooms are equipped with the right tools and materials so that our students continue to have engaging learning experiences inside their classrooms. Organization Effectiveness Drawing on my years of experience working in the district and as a CCS parent, I am compelled to organize our departments and processes so that they are more customer-service focused and intuitively structured.

The release includes important information about the new test and the new accountability system. A couple of weeks ago, my son started Kindergarten and my daughter started preschool. I was taken a bit by surprise at the intensity of the hopes and fears that I have for my children as it pertains to school. Perhaps I should take a page out of their playbook! I learned about the many strengths of our district around which there was a good deal of consensus , as well as those areas that need more attention.

Over the summer, the district leadership team, including all of our principals, reflected on these entry findings and our vision of teaching and learning for all students. From that, we created a new strategy for district improvement. While this strategy does not capture everything that we are working on in our schools, it provides an important snapshot of our big-picture objectives, our priorities, and our action steps for this year. We are in the process of planning parent workshops and community events to foster this work and address the needs and interests that you have communicated to us.

We are still finalizing a couple of dates with presenters, but hope to roll out the calendar for the year in early October. If you missed our recent parent workshop with Charlie Applestein about starting the year off right with homework and other routines, we invite you to watch a video of the event on the Westwood Media Center website. Finally, I invite you to join me and other district administrators for coffee and conversation on Monday, September 24th from 9: This will be an informal gathering, so you can come and stay for the hour, or just drop by for a few minutes.

I look forward to seeing you there. We took the opportunity to reflect on and reaffirm our commitment to providing a great educational experience and a caring community for all of our students and families. It appears that the first week of school is going to be quite hot, and many of our classrooms are not air conditioned.

Please make sure that students are dressed in cool clothing and that they have a water bottle with them to stay hydrated. Our faculty and staff will monitor students for any heat-related health issues.

Each of our buildings has at least one air conditioned space that can be accessed for cooling off as needed. As an additional challenge, Tuesday, September 4th is the statewide primary election, and three of our schools Hanlon, Downey, and Sheehan are polling places.

The district has worked with town officials and the Westwood Police Department to ensure student safety during morning drop off and afternoon dismissal and to minimize any disruption to the first day of school. However, you may want to build a few extra minutes into your schedule on Tuesday morning, as there may be a little more traffic and tighter parking than usual as residents come and go from the polls.

As always, we thank you for entrusting us with your children and look forward to great year. Best wishes for a wonderful Labor Day Weekend! This email contains important information about back-to-school and instructions for some tasks that families will need to complete in order to start the school year smoothly. This year, we have attempted to consolidate information from various departments into one streamlined letter. Though this letter is a bit lengthy, we hope you find this process more efficient and user-friendly.
