Cindy Sholtys-Cromwell, Alternative Learning Education Administrator for the Kelso School District
Jun 1, 2021
I know many schools have closed up the 2020-2021 school year, but we are still going strong in Kelso, Washington (my district). This month is a magical milestone month for our students, staff, and families it is important to celebrate, celebrate, and celebrate. I have no doubt you will find some simple and fun ideas to utilize this final month. Finish strong friends; you got this. I BELIEVE in you.
In this edition of AWSP News, we discuss wrapping up the craziest year in your professional career, what your school will look, sound, and feel like in the fall, the departure of Kurt Hatch, one of our Associate Directors, two new faces joining the AWSP/AWSL and Cispus family, AWSL’s Summer Leadership Series, choosing your own learning adventure in our Summer Conference, and using TPEP iGrant 664 funds to register anyone who evaluates teachers, an opportunity to share your story of how you have coped during the pandemic, and sharing your outdoor school plans for next year.
If you haven’t heard the news, Dr. Kurt Hatch, one of our Associate Directors, is moving on to another incredible professional opportunity. Starting June 1st, Kurt will be the Educational Administration Program Director and professor of practice at the University of Washington Tacoma. Although a direct loss for AWSP, it is an indirect win as Kurt will be shaping and preparing the next generation of school leaders at UW-T.
