Thursday, April 25
As we approach the final stretch of the school year, I encourage everyone to stay focused and finish strong. Let's continue to support one another, uplift each other, and foster a learning environment of kindness and cooperation. Let’s celebrate our diversity and the bonds of friendship and camaraderie that make our school district truly special. Let’s thank each other for creating learning environments that support student academic achievement.
In the coming weeks, we have several exciting events and activities planned to celebrate the achievements of our students and staff. From awards ceremonies to track and field days to graduation ceremonies, there will be plenty of opportunities to come together as a school community and celebrate our collective successes.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every member of our school community, including our students who inspire us with their curiosity and passion, our teachers who dedicate themselves to our student's academic success, our families who entrust us with their child(ren)'s education, and to our volunteers, community, and business partners who contribute their time, resources, and expertise. Your unwavering commitment to excellence is what makes our school community truly exceptional. Together we are better.
In service,
School District of Beloit Superintendent
