It’s Mission Monday!
At St. James R-1 School District, our mission is clear: to empower students through caring relationships, academic excellence, and community partnerships. But what's the secret that makes it all possible?
It's our dedicated teachers, committed to ensuring every student's success. And how do they achieve this? Through ongoing professional development!
Recently, we welcomed Keri Cottrell, MSTA Member Service Coordinator and Presenter, who shared invaluable insights on classroom management with new and aspiring teachers in our district. This is just one example of how we invest in our teachers to empower them to excel in their roles. It's a ripple effect that directly benefits our students.
So, as we celebrate Mission Monday, let's remember that professional development for our teachers is an investment in our students' bright futures. #MissionMonday #stjschools #tigerpride
