The first counselor meeting of the year is officially in the books!

Led by the fabulous Ginger Robinson, this crew brought all the big hearts and “we’ve got this” energy!

Who wouldn’t want to jump in and hang out with these fabulous humans?! They have a special way of making everyone feel welcomed, supported, and just a little more ready to tackle the year ahead. (Confession: I may have wandered in a few times just to soak up the vibes and snag a few hugs!)

Thank you to our incredible counselors for all you do for our students, staff, and families. We are SO lucky to have you! đź’šđź’™

Huge shoutout to our incredible WISD principals who came ready to learn at today’s Principal Focus Meeting.

These high achievers care endlessly about student success. We hit them with a mountain of information, updates, and deep dive alignment strategies…and in true form, our principals didn’t even flinch.

And a massive round of applause to our knowledgeable directors for sharing their expertise and leading the charge. When we align our vision and tools, we all grow stronger and our students win BIG.

We are so lucky to work alongside such a dedicated, passionate, and resilient group. Personally, I learn something new each time we meet. I truly love our WISD team!

It’s Reading Academy time!

We are so excited to welcome this year’s RA teachers who will be trained and coached by our very own amazing cohort leader, Traci Eddy Gilby.

They will work through the state-mandated professional development program required for all K-3rd grade general and special education teachers. It takes SIXTY hours across 12 learning modules (just look at that binder).

Reading Academy is designed to train educators in the Science of Teaching Reading (STR) using research-based practices aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). It covers phonological awareness, decoding, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.

We wanted to do a special post for our youngest AP scholars.

We had fifteen dual language 8th graders take the AP Spanish 4 exam and TWELVE earned college credit. It was so great to hear older students celebrate and even admire this accomplishment.

It took a village to get here. Elementary and middle school teachers, Rosalba Valentich, Claudia Gutierrez, Desirae Zarate, Gloria Walker, Lynda Solis, Advanced Academics, campus principals, and more. A legacy has been created.

When we work together, we can help students accomplish great things.

Proud. Grateful. Happy.

We are PROUD of our students who chose to enroll in rigorous College Board AP classes and take an extra test. We are beyond proud of the students who earned college credit by getting a 3, 4, or 5 on those tests.

We are GRATEFUL to parents and teachers who partnered and guided those students through tough assignments, study sessions, moments of “I don’t want to do this”, etc.

We are so HAPPY to work with our Advanced Academics team who helped make all of this possible. They have worked for years with campuses, curriculum, programming, assessment and more to give students this opportunity. Then they made this lovely celebration of student success happen beautifully and seamlessly.

What a win for WISD! đź’š

Ooooh weeeee! We did a lot today!

AP meetings were super informative with presentations from so many teams. We all learned a lot from new SPED guidance provided by Stephanie Collins-Robertson.

Great Minds has been out supporting campuses in full force thanks to the LIFT grant. We got to see GREAT campus wide systems & routines and leadership.

We LOVE serving our campuses, staff, and students. We are getting better to serve them better!
