As I visited schools this week, I witnessed many summer activities. Custodians are cleaning rooms, floors are being stripped and waxed, broken furniture is being removed, repaired, and replaced. I've also seen professional learning communities throughout the school system. Teachers and administrators are meeting to discuss this year's results. Changes are being made to school improvement plans so we will be better prepared for our next school year.
These activities are part of our continuing improvement process. We're looking at where we've been to better understand where we are, and so we that can put in place changes that help make us better for next year.
I hope you enjoy your summer break. I hope you are participating in and will enjoy next week's
GSCS Teachers as Learners Conference. I know many of you are going back to the UGA Griffin Campus to continue working on your math endorsement. Many of you are continuing to work on higher degrees.
This will be my last 2010-2011 communicator message. During the summer, messages from our staff members will be featured. They'll share what we're doing to prepare for next school year.
And, even though school is over, Spalding High School's baseball team traveled to Columbus to compete for the state championship. We're very proud of them!
So, until I talk with you again, please know I respect you, I'm very grateful for the opportunity to work with you, and I look forward to seeing you when school returns.
Dare to have a great summer!
