WELCOME BACK!  We are SUPER excited for another great school year!  We can't WAIT to see all of the "PIRATE" leadership taking place in your classrooms!  Take a risk, embrace change, be positive, radiate enthusiasm!   

ARE YOU READY?  (stolen from Jeff Kubiak cause we loved it!!)

Just like that: School.  Is. HERE!  Some of our NEU (No Excuses University) planning has already started and others are about to begin.

Are you ready?

For 180 days of awesomeness, fun and laughter?

Are you ready?

For ALL kids to be included, loved, cared for, and noticed?

Are you ready?

To be visible, honest, intentional and kind?

Are you ready?

To make a difference for EVERY SINGLE CHILD? No. Matter. What.

Are you ready?

To have a student-led classroom?

Are you ready?

For failure, re-learning, unlearning and growth?

Are you ready? 

To connect with peers, admin, friends and family positively??

Are you ready?

To show up?  EVERY DAY.

Are you ready?

To empower, advocate, play, and inspire?

Are you ready?

To reflect every day so that kids run back to GVMS and NOT run away?

Are you ready?

For changes in behavior that you don't understand but to connect, accept, love and support?

Are you ready?

To be ALL IN, NO EXCUSES, POSITIVE, for every child, end of story and end of complaining??

So tell us.  

Are. You. Ready?

Because WE ARE.
