End of Year Thoughts

By -


A demanding but productive school year has come to an end. Before we breathe a huge sigh of relief and launch into summer break, it is fitting to take a moment to reflect on how far we have come and where we are headed.


First, I want to recognize and thank each of you for the dedication, talent, energy and care you bring to work. Together, we are making a difference for our students, families and the TISD community.


Educating our children for a successful future is important and influential work. I want to recognize your daily contributions in providing the richest experience possible for all of our students. Despite the constraints and challenges, we continue to focus on improvement and we continue to find ways to leverage our resources(people, time, dollars and relationships) toward boosting success for students and creating the system of strong and excellent schools of which our community is justifiably proud.


In ways large and small, all areas of the district have made a positive difference for our kiddos this year. If I haven’t had an occasion to express this to you in person, please know that I deeply value your efforts and your commitment to the students and community of this district. I hope you have an opportunity to rest and re-energize over the summer. Take time to travel, pursue a hobby, enjoy the company of friends and family, and savor the experiences that are rewarding and help you bring new insights to your role in Tatum ISD. For those of you who are retiring after serving the district for so many years, I wish you the best. You have contributed immensely to the success of our district. I hope you have great enjoyment in this next phase of your life.

With the emergence of COVID-19 in 2020, it was suspended. However, I want to share again and place it on all of our hear
