I hope everyone enjoyed the full week of fall break. As an educator, breaks like these help us reflect on our practice and stay energized throughout the school year.
With three full weeks until winter break I will be busy preparing for our Department of Education Site-Visit as well as working with teachers in aligning our curriculum with the Iowa Core and placing a stronger emphasis on the individual student. The Central School Board will also host a work session that will focus on our vision and give clear goals to achieve that vision. Sometime in the next three weeks Central will also find out if they are awarded the Teacher Leadership and Compensation grant.
One of the most exciting happenings is Central's work with Struxture Architects. The timing of this work couldn't be any better based on your feedback in our Parent Survey. Many of you commented on the fact that we needed a better flow to our school building and that is exactly what Struxture is trying to address. Struxture Architects will be meeting with our Facilities Committee sometime before winter break. If you are interested in being a part of this committee please let me know. Currently I would like to have more students, parents, and business leaders represented on the committee.
As you can see a lot of exciting work taking place at Central. I am thankful for all of the support each of you give our school district.
Sincerely,
Mr. Trenkamp
