Our community is lucky to have outstanding educators like James, Janet, and Elizabeth, and we know there are so many others like them in our schools. Thank you to all our educators and congratulations to this year's awardees!

Meet Karrie, our Early On Teacher Consultant for Early Childhood! Our next Humans of WISD feature highlights how Karrie's personal experiences, community roots, and professional background all coalesce to guide her approach to supporting families.

"I feel like my work is more like a ministry rather than a job. My approach is deeply personal and about relationships. I believe building trust with parents is crucial. By sharing my own experiences as a mother and by being vulnerable, I help parents feel understood and supported."

This week, High Point School hosted a curriculum showcase highlighting students' progress as they develop the skills to succeed outside of the classroom. This event included:

▪️ Presentations from preschool through 12th grade students showcasing learning from recent units in the Readtopia and TeachTown curricula;
▪️ A school store open to the public with young adult students practicing vocational skills and highlighting their micro-businesses; and
▪️ Opportunities for families, community members, and stakeholders to observe students using dynamic communication systems to express their ideas and share knowledge gained throughout their units.

Many thanks to our wonderful staff and students for putting together this event, and for families and community members who were able to attend and help celebrate learning!

Meet Eric, our Coordinator of Work-Based Learning for Career Technical Education! Our next Humans of WISD feature highlights Eric's experience as a college football coach and how his past roles shape how he guides young people in our community.

"My personal mission has always been about joy. My coaching background at Princeton and Cornell taught me to believe in people. You listen to what they want to do, and your job is to assist with the plan and pull them through. There are no conditions – we're learning. If they want to explore something, we find out what's available. Maybe they'll like it, maybe they won't, but we keep their creative minds moving."

Meet Krysta, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Teaching Assistant!

As part of our Humans of WISD series, Krysta recognizes that WISD is a special place both for students and our community.

"What I think is important is that WISD is a safe place. I can build trust with my students. It's important because when students trust their teachers, they learn better. It's my fourth year here, but I feel like my own world has expanded so much. WISD is just really unique. There are just so many amazing programs and students, and we're all in it together."
