Dear Middle School Team,
I hope you all had a wonderful and well deserved break! The month of June is a time to exhale, let your hair down, and recharge for the next adventure! In this case we will be starting a new journey together. Before I get to business items, I did get out a couple of times this summer with family and friends. One of those times, we camped for a week along the Klamath River towards the area of Happy Camp, CA. We got lucky as the weather was cooperative; sunny, hot and clear skies. On a small trip, I traveled to Reno, NV through highway 31, the Oregon outback, to see family. I was really impressed by the landscape. Like Jim Boen, keeps reminding me, “you got to go to the Cowboy Dinner Tree!” Don’t hesitate to share your summer stories and adventures when I see you.
We have some new members to our team and there are familiar faces in new roles. Chad Lowe is the new principal at Pilot Butte MS. He comes to us from Redmond School District. Chad brings a wealth of middle school experience and he knows the IB middle years program well. Ann-Marie Schmidt will be joining us from the high school ranks. She lead La Pine HS for many years and she is ready to exercise her leadership skills with Ryan Kelling at Pacific Crest MS. Ryan will be taking on the role of principal at PCMS this year. Sky View MS will be welcoming two new administrators in new roles. Julie Stroinski, as principal and Heather Peterson as assistant principal. They are going to be a dynamic duo for SVMS. I am really excited for our middle school admin group. You all are amazing leaders and I am in a privileged position to learn from you.
Next, on August 12, there is an all admin meeting. That agenda will be forthcoming. Our middle school principal retreat will be on Friday, August 13, from 8:00-4:30 at Hollingshead Park Barn (1235 NE Jones Rd, Bend OR. 97701)
Click on the Agenda for the day.
Let me know if you have any questions. The best and direct way to get of hold of me is my cell 541-953-7362.
I hope you continue to have a great summer and ease your way back to school business.
Best,
Juan
