Did we really feel fall this week or what?  How many of us turned on the heat before slipping into bed this week?

It was good to get out in the brisk air this week to visit Twin Groves and Woodlawn Middle Schools, where a handful of students met with Dr. Linda Yonke to share input for the next Superintendent of Schools.  She is part of the SCHOOL EXEC CONNECT, an educational search firm that is leading the district’s search to identify a successor for Supt. Julie Schmidt, who is retiring.

Community members and parents can offer input next week during upcoming sessions ~ especially during next Wednesday’s virtual Open Forums (at 7:30 a.m. and 7 p.m.).  The Zoom link was embedded in an invitation sent to all parents this week. These Open Forums are for any stakeholder who has not yet participated in a Focus Group or was unable to attend a session to which they were invited.
