Teachers, administrators, and academic coaches have worked collaboratively this year to support student growth. In the process, adult learning has increased as well. The result of all that growth was highlighted with the recognition as being the number 2 school district in the state, based on the State Report Card. The life-giving blood for that growth is our teachers. We have the best of the best who, year after year start fresh, striving to make learning and the school experience even better than the year before. TCS is fortunate to have hard working, intelligent, caring employees who have a growth mindset.
Relationships between and among our staff members have grown. Teachers regularly collaborate and depend on one another for support and constructive feedback. That collaborative spirit has helped to transform our district into a true learning community. We have all learned so much, not just from our reading, research, and professional development, but through our observations and conversations with colleagues. Joy Tyner said it best, "Why would I send our teachers to observe in another district when we have experts right here in our own building?"
Looking ahead to the future, I know that you will continue your work to support continuous growth of our students and staff. You have the most important jobs in the world. The children, this country, and the future of democracy depend on you. I am confident that Trussville City Schools will continue to be the stellar schools we expect in our community, and that together you will help all of our students grow to become the people they were created to be.
Thank you for all the big things and the countless little things you have done daily to grow and support students and one another. Have a great summer filled with relaxation, time with family, and continuous learning! No doubt that 19-20 will be our best school year ever!
