COLUMN: One never really leaves ‘The Circle’
-
Posted: May 26, 2018
-
At this time of year in education, we generally think about the ending of a school year and all the events that come with that, especially graduation. Graduation is sometimes referred to as a commencement which really means a beginning or a new start. So for this article, I choose not to think of endings but of new beginnings for Social Circle City Schools and the Class of 2018.

Posted: March 31, 2018

At the end of the day, the goals are simple: safety and security. When former Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell made this statement, she probably did not realize how prophetic those words would become throughout our country and more recently in our schools. Who would have guessed 50 years ago that we would need to have in place the safety protocols that schools do today?

Posted: February 03, 2018

January is typically a time of reflection and change but also a time of thankfulness for the opportunities we have been given. The opportunity I have as superintendent of Social Circle City Schools places me in a very important position, that of seeing student successes in many arenas. The pride I see throughout the district is testament to the many changes and improvements we see in both academic achievement and various programs and athletics.

COLUMN: Reflecting on lessons learned, battles won as school year nears end
-
Posted: April 15, 2017
-
As we near the end of another school year, it always helps to reflect on accomplishments and those lessons-learned. Next week we begin the EOC’s and EOG’s (End-of-Course and End-of-Grade standardized assessments) which many feel paint the picture of what a school system is, and though these are important and we have prepared very hard for them, there truly is so much more to a school system that we reflect upon at this time of year and throughout.

The digital age can’t be ignored. It’s here to stay. Technology has ushered into our schools a new day and a new way. Few probably realized Feb. 23 was Digital Learning Day, a day set aside to engage students with the various devices we have been privileged enough to place in their hands. Technology has changed the way we do things in all aspects of our lives.

Happy New Year! It really is astounding to think that we are here in 2017. New year. New start. This is the time of the year we resolve to make changes to improve in many aspects of our lives. We decide to lose a few pounds, start an exciting exercise plan, be a bit kinder. We all seem a bit more hopeful at this time of year. We vow to move forward and not look to the past. Past is the past, we say. But is it really?
