It was a great day at work. I was able to work with our teams today in student meetings. Joy comes from being in a district that values students above all, and puts in the work to show it.
Our teachers will lean in next week, with an instructional framework to guide the way. Students, see you Monday; this is going to be an excellent year!

NEW TEACHER SPOTLIGHT!
"Hello all, my name is Amanda Andreen and I am the new 3rd & 4th-grade classroom teacher at Arvada-Clearmont Elementary School this fall. I am so excited to be joining an amazing group of educators. I have been married to my husband, David, for 20 years and have lived in Recluse for the majority of my life. I have two sons, Ian, who will be a junior, and Isaac, who will be an 8th grader this fall here in Clearmont. I love to spend time with my family, go camping, and read. I have been in and out of the educational field since my oldest was born from a substitute teacher to a paraprofessional to bus driver. I am so happy, excited, and nervous that I finally took the leap of faith and finished up my teaching degree. However, I am ready to jump in with both feet and take on this new challenge. "
