It’s been a super busy nine weeks at Guernsey-Sunrise Schools! As we round out our first nine weeks of our school year, I want to take time to highlight all of the incredible work happening across our school district. Students and staff returned to many district building improvements, thanks to the work of our amazing custodial/maintenance staff and our department and building leaders across our district. We are very proud of our new commons area improvements, as well as the new cafeteria design which allows for much safer, comfortable spaces for students and staff. Our weight room improvements feature a larger space for safer use as well as state of the art wellness and fitness equipment for both students and staff. Lots of collaboration among our staff, students and leaders in bringing such innovative design and improvements to fruition. We are also so fortunate this school year to be part of the Food Service Community Eligibility Program and are just thrilled that our students are able to access our breakfast and lunch program free of charge.
Our entire staff has worked extremely hard to ensure our students had a safe, positive, and a smooth return to our school year. Our new staff members have been great additions to our team and have been surrounded by great students, staff members and families- thank you for making them feel so welcomed.
We have also increased some of our building safety supports as well as safety training for staff- recently we moved through a reunification safety drill and the preparation, feedback and debriefing that was part of this process was very well done from our school leaders, to staff members, to students as well as our School Resource Officer and Camp Guernsey team.
We have also continued to increase our mental health supports for both students and staff this school year. This month we had outstanding mental health trainers/consultants work with our school teams surrounding supportive strategies and resources to assist in schools and classrooms. Make sure to check out our District Strategic Plan to see how much of our work aligns to our focus areas.
