Our professional development kickoff is about more than preparing for a new school year—it’s about preparing to make a difference in the lives of our students. ❤️🖤
This week, our teachers and administrators are participating in Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH) training, a process focused on building meaningful relationships, strengthening classroom culture, and creating environments where every student feels known, valued, and supported.
At the heart of CKH is a simple but powerful idea: relationships matter. When students know their teachers care about them and feel a genuine sense of belonging, they are better positioned to engage, learn, grow, and succeed.
We believe strong schools are built on strong relationships. This year, we are intentionally investing in those relationships—not only between teachers and students, but across our entire school community.
We’re excited about the impact this work will have on our students, our classrooms, and our district. Together, we are building a school community where every student knows they matter.
