Today was the first day of Strategic Planning. Representatives from each of the district's four communities participated in today's session. The focus of today was the development of the district's mission and vision statement.
Chatham School District is happy to celebrate National Principal’s Month. Each October, National Principals Month recognizes the essential role that principals play in making our schools great! They provide a source of inspiration and leadership for our teachers, our students, and our families. Principals play an important role in the success of our students. Principals support our teachers and support staff in providing a quality educational experience for all our students. Chatham School District is proud of our principals whose vision and leadership make our schools an exciting place to learn. Thank you, Emma Demmert and Bradley King.

We just learned about this really neat program called DrawTogether. DrawTogether is an interactive art class and learning universe. The art show and activities focus on imagination, community, and confidence-building through drawing. Great for homeschooled students in our rural areas. Check it out at https://drawtogether.studio/

Virtual School Tip for Success: Plan Ahead
Sometimes, life gets hectic. If you know you aren't going to meet a deadline, contact your teacher BEFORE the deadline to let them know. Teachers are much more likely to give extension when they know beforehand.
Virtual School Tip for Success: Get to know your teachers and Site Coordinators!
In the online environment, it often takes more of an effort to get to know the people behind the curtain. But like in The Wizard of Oz, we are real people, here to help! We will reach out to you throughout the semester, but please ask for help if you need it.

Virtual School Tip for Success: Don't Procrastinate!
Overwhelmingly, students who have taken online classes report that they wish they hadn't waited until the last day of the week to turn in assignments. Set mini-goals for yourself throughout the week to help pace yourself.
The Chatham School District mourns the loss of our Superintendent Bruce Houck. He was an irreplaceable leader, colleague and friend. He will be missed dearly.
