Bend Gate has and continues to have the reputation of being a "good school."
As principal, I believe that the time for just being a "good school" is over! We
have been good long enough, it is time to take another step forward. Now is the
time for Bend Gate to become a "great school."
Progress is being made towards becoming a great school in several areas of
our school. We have adopted the mission statement of:
Offer the best
Expect the best
Produce the best.
This is the focus of our thinking as a school staff.
Progress is being made towards becoming a "great school" in several areas
here are a few I would like to point out:
School-wide discipline plan-We have developed school wide expectations
that have been introduced and practiced from K to 5th grade. Along with those
expectations comes a new way to recognize students going above and beyond those
expectations. Gator Gotcha Tickets are being passed out to students caught
obeying the rules and doing more than required as a student to make our school
day great. The students have already had a chance to redeem those tickets for a
reward. Some options of rewards were pencils, bracelets, lunch with friends,
lunch with an adult, and other small items.
Bend Gate is an exciting place to be the principal. I am pleased to be at a
school that cares about kids and wants to work together to create a great place
for students to come to learn. Let’s work together to make Bend Gate a GREAT
school.
