Welcome to the Superintendent's Blog

While parents and teachers continue to be astounded by the latest technological wizardry of our time, our students are uncovering new ways to utilize these enhancements in their daily lives. The Nintendo Wii and Apple’s latest 3GS I-Phone are just two examples of how the computer age has taken hold of both entertainment and communication in our lives. For many of us, keeping up with these gadgets and the language that is associated with them has been nothing short of challenging. Take a look at this list of words to see if you can identify their meaning or their supporting technology:

· Tweet
· SMS
· MMS
· Facebook
· Blog
· IM
· Wiki

If you don’t know what these terms mean, have no fear - for you are not alone. If you are reading this post however, you have already taken a step in the right direction. Whether you know it or not you are now participating in a “blog.” Since I am the one who is keeping and updating this site, I am the “blogger.” Thank you for visiting and reading my very first post.

I have created this forum as an enhancement to the school district’s communication system as we know it. All too often the communication from the school to the parent is one way – we tell you something that you need to know. Rarely are you given the opportunity to share your thoughts, provide feedback, ask questions, or engage in other meaningful dialogue about your school community. Parents, students, teachers, and community members can now interact with me and with one another on this site about issues that face our school community, news, events, and are free to share their ideas about our district. I look forward to blogging with all of you.
