A Message from the
As we close out a remarkable school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the important progress we’ve made together in support of student learning across our district. This year, we launched comprehensive curriculum reviews in both Mathematics and Physical Education, Health, and Wellness (PEHW). These efforts have brought forward meaningful conversations among educators, students, and community members about how we ensure all students experience relevant, rigorous, and developmentally appropriate learning opportunities. These reviews will shape a vision for the future of learning in these critical areas. Our continued implementation of the EL Education curriculum in elementary grades has deepened students' engagement with critical literacy and rich, meaningful content. Educators across the district have committed themselves to bringing this curriculum to life in classrooms, and we look forward to ongoing professional learning and collaborative reflection as this work continues into next year. At the secondary level, the High School District Curriculum Council has played a vital role in bringing coherence and clarity to our 9–12 programs. This cross-school collaboration is strengthening alignment and elevating student experience across the district. This year, the team took a deep dive into defining rigor and priority standards and our multi level class models at both schools. Internally, we undertook a significant reorganization of the Office of Teaching and Learning to better serve educators and students across all grade levels and content areas. We welcomed new Director-level roles to support PreK–12 coordination in ELA, Math, Science, and Humanities—including Fine and Performing Arts, Social Studies, World Language, and PEHW—as well as a dedicated Director of Professional Learning. Additionally, our Office of English Language Learners advanced a robust curriculum development initiative, ensuring our multilingual learners have access to content-rich instruction and the academic language development they need to thrive. Lastly, our MTSS teams worked closely with the elementary and middle schools to focus on maximizing time on learning through our schedule and supports for students. None of this work would be possible without the incredible efforts of our educators, leaders, and support staff. Your dedication, creativity, and passion drive everything we do, and I am deeply grateful for your partnership. As we look ahead, we remain focused on ensuring every student is known, challenged, and supported every day. Thank you for a year of thoughtful collaboration and inspiring progress. Wishing you all a restful and joyful summer. Warmly,
