SUPERINTENDENT DR. KURTIS KOTES

Headshot of Superintendent Kotes

There has never been a time when I would believe that any of us could value our health more than we do now.  I urge everyone to use proper precautions to keep yourself safe. I urge everyone to also stay connected.  As we are not able to enjoy in person gatherings and socialization, it is important that we still reach out to one another, offering encouragement to our friends and family so that we can work together as we continue to find our way through the end of this pandemic.

I would like to offer a great debt of gratitude to our administrators, teachers, and support staff for all of their work to reopen school for the 2020-2021 school year. While we all look forward to a return to normalcy, it was a massive undertaking to plan for and implement all of the new health and safety protocols which needed to be in place for students and staff to return to school.  We continue to work each and every day towards a sound education for all students even through these challenging circumstances.  Please know that the district is committed to constantly working together to sustain and improve our practices throughout the year for the students of the community. 

Most importantly, I am so proud of all of our students. They have stayed focused and committed to learning.  It has been so fulfilling to walk through the buildings and see them work safely with their teachers and peers. I also have had the opportunity to view some of the online learning that is occurring.  Our teachers and students are effectively leveraging online learning to the best of their abilities.  It is wonderful to see teachers and students learning together.  There have undoubtedly been hurdles and obstacles in this process, but the positive attitude of all of our students has paved the way for the best year possible!

While we continue to work our way out of this difficult healthcare crisis, the achievements of our students remind us of the strength of our schools and our community. It helps all of us to stay grounded in our mission and helps us to stay focused on doing everything we can to provide them with the best tools possible to be successful.

I wish all of our families continued good health and a brighter 2021.

Best Regards-

Dr. Kurtis Kotes
