Yesterday I had the privilege of visiting West-Oak Middle School, Westminster Elementary School, Orchard Park Elementary, West-Oak High School, Fair-Oak Elementary, and Oakway Intermediate. I am continually amazed at the cleanliness of our facilities. I could practically see my reflection on the floors at WOMS. If you feel moved, please take a minute to thank your custodians for the wonderful job they are doing. I believe Oconee County has the finest facilities in the state. If you are an SDOC teacher and I did not get a chance to see you yesterday, please know I will do my best to spend more time in classrooms this year. During my observations last year, I witnessed creativity and innovation and was able to share some great ideas on my blog. I intend to do the same this year as well. I will also continue to do IEP meeting walk-throughs as my GBE. If I plan to attend one of your meetings, I will email or call early that morning to let you know. Please know this is not an "I gotcha" measure. It is a way for me to leave positive written feedback, to offer suggestions to make your life easier, and to get to know all of you and your needs. I wish each and every one of you the best year yet in education. You are respected, valued, and appreciated more than you know. I look forward to working with all our SDOC special education teachers and support staff as we strive to meet our vision...helping each student succeed with appropriate support.
Take care,
Marge
