Welcome
To 2016-2017!
We are so excited for this
school year and hope that you are too! Why are we so focused on
super heroes? We need super heroes in our life for a multitude of
reasons: to pick us up when we are down, to give us hope, to deliver
justice, and to save us when we are in trouble to name a few. 
With our focus this school
year on student Academic Conversations, PODs, tech integration, PBIS, lots of support through Professional Development, and more, we ALL need super heroes to share with, to compare with, to plan with, and to support one another. Can you name your super hero on campus already?
We challenge EACH of you to be THAT super hero for at least 5 students. Can you already picture them in your mind? We can.
After some time to
relax and rejuvenate we are in an awesome spot to search and
reflect on our OWN individual "why" we are at GVMS and why we are in education. There are many
reasons that we got into education and many of those are the same reasons we remain in education.
*To witness students to find their inner genius and watch that light bulb moment....
*To help build
positive culture in our school...with our students and our staff
*To support teachers in their effort to continue to grow and support students
Without education we
can not have our innovators, our designers, our doctors, our lawyers, our
presidents, our FUTURE.
We are as passionate as
ever about all of our teachers working on thinking out of the box, sharing their learning with each other and
empowering our students. We REALLY want to encourage each
and every one of you to take risks, make mistakes (especially in technology!) to show you are trying and to push
yourself to try something new this year. Take off on your creative journey as your student's guide and leader. Learn from them! Ask them for help! Learn from one another! Ask them for help! Don't become
complacent. When you find yourself having struggles or fears, reach out and
find support. We are an unbelievable team with an amazing amount of knowledge that we have yet to tap into; we must be a united force and a "super hero" for each other AND our students!
