Hello Bobcats!
It is my hope that the summer months have provided you with rest, relaxation, and additional time to enjoy the people, places, and activities that bring you joy. As I prepare for the quickly approaching school year, I have spent some time reflecting and thinking about you and our students. The past two school years have been interesting, challenging, exciting, and growth-producing for me personally and professionally. The challenges of the last couple of years have taken a toll on everyone, but forward movement with an emphasis on love and support for one another is how we’ll all thrive. With that, I am filled with promise and excitement for the future. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve all Bobcats with a renewed focus on academic achievement across the district. Learning is the primary function of our organization. The ability to support students, staff, and families at a deeper level around topics related to academic progress and continuous improvement is exciting! Our district goals/action plan is pictured below. The goal areas are aligned with the district's mission and vision. They were developed based on a variety of data points that include student achievement, staff feedback, and community feedback. More information will be shared and feedback will be sought as the year gets started. Learning opportunities will be crafted for all around these goal areas. Together, we can achieve these goals and provide our students with a Quality Education for a Lifetime of Learning. It is my great pleasure to continue to serve Bobcats as Director of Curriculum & Instruction and supporting you in achieving these goals and serving students is my primary function. If you would like to discuss what I’ve shared individually or before the school year gets underway, please feel free to reach out at the contact information listed below. I am fortunate to live, work, and grow in a district where my personal core values align with the core values of the organization I care so deeply about. The overwhelming sense of pride that students, staff, and community members have in living life the “Bobcat Way” is truly special, and I feel fortunate to be a part of it as a parent, patron, and employee. I plan to continue to lead with both my head and my heart, and my heart lies in Bobcat Country. Benton Community truly is A Place to Belong. I look forward to serving you all and to continued opportunities to build and foster that belief and feeling throughout our system.
