Wednesday, October 9th-Picture Day

Dear MIS Families,

I am very excited to begin a new journey as Dean of Students at Medinah Intermediate School. Over the past decade, I have had the privilege of working with many students, families, and the community in the P.E. classroom. As I transition into this new role, I am eager to continue building and fostering relationships within our community, supporting our students, parents, and staff to the best of my ability.

My philosophy as a dean is to create meaningful connections and continue to build mutual trust amongst our students, staff, and community. I genuinely care about each stakeholder in our district and am committed to supporting our student body. I strongly believe in positive reinforcement and encouraging students to make the right choices that will lead to their success beyond intermediate school and into the real world. We are here to get these kids ready for life beyond MIS and will continue to have high expectations to ensure our students are prepared.

I look forward to seeing everyone soon and embarking on this exciting new chapter together.

Sincerely,

Matt Boeing
