MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT/PRINCIPAL

As summer begins to arrive, and along with it the deep heat that brings harvest on quickly, I would like to remind each and every one of you that school is out. It is time to relax, recharge, and enjoy some time off. The budget for next year is near completion, and the savings we hoped for were realized this past year. We had a solid showing of tax dollars this spring, meaning that our funding source for facilities is healthy. I am excited to announce that we will be looking towards possibly purchasing some new playground equipment for our school! I will be gathering student, parent and community input during this process, so keep an eye out for my next newsletter, where I will detail how this process works.

As I continue to wrap up the year and state reporting requirements, I also am continuing to work on improving internal systems and processes so that our current work flow keeps up with our changing way of life. With the addition of AI to the mix, education continues to be much different each and every day. Trust that your local school has an amazing set of staff returning next year and that they are resting up so that they are ready for the next coming challenge! I am continuing my personal improvement efforts, in order to bring the best to our tiny slice of heaven right here in Endicott. I recently was awarded a plaque and letter of commendation in response to my leadership training efforts over the past two years. Please know that I have brought each and every idea back to our district, knowing that the amazing educational staff will apply when necessary. I highly recommend the training program, Next Level Leaders, and will be going through the next two-year cohort as well, looking at our situation through a different lens, to bring yet another layer of improvement to our local school. Rest up, enjoy the sunshine and nice weather, know that your children are missed and staff are deeply appreciated for everything that have done and will do in the coming months.
