Superintendent's Message
Welcome to the Taft City School District Website and 2011-2012 school year. Fall tends to be a time of new beginnings for our students and families as another school year gets underway. Children and parents become acquainted with new teachers and school routines and get involved in new opportunities and activities. At the district level, we are also enthusiastic about the beginning of each year, including new opportunities to work with our highly supportive and involved community.
We believe in the unlimited potential of our students by respecting and developing their unique learning styles and interests. We set challenging and demanding expectations for performance and support all students to achieve high standards. We foster a culture of civility where students and adults are treated with fairness, are respected for their contributions, and are celebrated for their successes. We believe in using data to guide decisions and to improve student learning, differentiate instruction, and promote social, emotional and physical growth.
Our work together requires teamwork, collaboration and dedication. We believe in the value of collaboration and communication. We believe that commitment to and implementation of continuous learning lead to improved student performance. We believe in the power of personal connections and relations between staff, students, parents and the community.
I feel fortunate to be part of a professional community that approaches its work with optimism and a tremendous sense of possibility. We are bound only by the limits of our talent and our creativity. I look forward to leading a team of dedicated administrators, talented teachers and committed support staff, involved families and supportive community members, working in partnership to strengthen educational excellence in our schools.
As we move into the future TCSD will continue to set clearly defined goals and will measure how well we are meeting these goals. Great organizations have clarity of purpose, common goals, shared commitment, and are results-oriented. I look forward to working with each of you to provide the best educational experiences for our youth in Taft.
