Thanks to each of you who responded to our Beliefs Survey. Our first step was to have our Board Members and principals complete an initial Belief Survey. Our next step was to have teachers, staff, and community members (parents and non-parents) respond. We then incorporated many of these wonderful suggestions and refined these ideas and suggestions at our Leadership Retreat with principals and Central Office staff this summer. Therefore, thanks to the hard work and “brain power” of our Board Members, principals, Central Office staff, teachers, staff, parents, and community members, we have finalized our beliefs.
