Superintendent's Message
Wednesday, May 7
What wonderful news we received Thursday afternoon, with our third grade reading CSAP scores going up 5 percentage points. That's great growth!
Our growth was even more notable compared with statewide results. Many districts saw stagnant results or declines, yet we had significant growth. Each and every one of us, and our students themselves, should have great pride in our accomplishments. It's truly a team effort. I personally thank our teachers, principals, support staff and district leadership for everything they do each and every school day to help our students learn and achieve.
Speaking of pride, I have tremendous pride in our teachers. We have some of the best and brightest educators right here in our district. Some of our teachers have recently won prestigious awards, including Judith Morales (Colorado ELA Teacher of the Year) and Margaret Ottoson (Centennial BOCES Teacher of the Year). Many, many of our teachers are having tremendous success this year with their students.
It's appropriate, then, that we're celebrating National Teacher Appreciation Week right now. Let's all make sure we let our teachers know how much we do appreciate them.
Graduation and the end of the school year are right around the corner. Best wishes to you all for a great last few weeks of the 2007-08 school year. More...Renae Dreier
