Dear Big Sandy School District Community,
Congratulations. We did it. Together. Thank you.
We successfully finished the first semester today with teachers, staff, students, parents/guardians, and the Big Sandy community.
Last Friday I sent an email to our staff stating that in the last 15 years we have only had 2 years in which we missed zero days of school during the first semester (snow days, mud days, state volleyball…). Our next school day on Tuesday, we missed because of snow/wind…still pretty good considering the type of year we have had.
Most of us will remember 2020 forever.
Governor Polis has been promoting a lot the last couple of weeks the high need for schools to get back to in-person schooling; he has listed many benefits of having in-person schooling. It is not communicated to the big cities and Front Range community that most rural schools have been having in-person schooling for the biggest part of the whole first semester.
One big thing that has worked, and a big thank you, for parents and students not coming to school sick…thank you!
I am not in favor of having all of the state wide tests this spring, but if we do have them, I am guessing that our students will shine brightly with their student learning compared to the majority of the state.
Thank you all for making it happen!
We hope you all have a Merry Christmas!
