Opening the Year with a Different Look; Performing with Same Success!

 

Congratulations to everyone on a successful first week of school.  I believe that this year’s opening went exceptionally smooth.  Our students look excited, happy, and ready to learn.  I attribute this successful opening as a sign of our SIS community embracing our motto of Leadership, Teamwork, and Focus.  Due to an illness, my personal focus was down during our Opening Week, but as a team we worked together, and all of you stepped into that leadership role necessary to make the start of the school year a success. 

From our daily opening procedures to some unexpected events, we welcomed our students, prepared them to learn, and made them feel safe.  I want to thank everyone for making last week such a success and working together as a team. Through the efforts of all of our team members (staff, students, and parents), we achieved an awesome opening week leading us to another prosperous school year.

I thoroughly enjoy having the “family” back together again.  During our first staff meeting of the year I shared, “Although we may have a different look, we are still the same.” We proved that statement together in our successful first week of school.  As we continue to transition into a new year, it is my intent to inspire you and share our vision of how we will continue making SIS a better learning environment for everyone.  As we continue to welcome  our new students and parents, know that they are joining our SIS community and are now a part of our school’s success.  Let's take the time to get to know each other and share your passion for learning.  Together, I firmly believe that we will have another successful, productive, and fun year.  We will face the challenges and triumphs that await us together.  I know that the SIS staff will present seamless, high-quality, rigorous instruction for our students, and together we will build a learning environment where all students and staff are happy and safe.
