Good morning. District 29 scholars.
My name is Dr Crystal Bond and I'm the superintendent of
District 29.
The community that shines many students ask what does the
superintendent do well as superintendent,
I'm responsible for supervising the district,
the operations and the people to ensure that you have access to
meeting your goals and your potential.
I am so excited to start the new school year as superintendent
here because I know that this district 29 has superstar students.
I also want you to know that I attended school here in this
district as a young person.
I started my first teaching job here and my own Children went to
school in this district. So we already have a lot in common.
We are connected.
This is literally a full circle and coming back home to District
29 I've been working with your principles to ensure that you
have a great school year because you deserve the best.
I wake up each day every day thinking about all the young people
in District 29 over 20,000 of you.
I think about what we need to do as adults to support your
social,
emotional and academic growth and when I'm meeting with your
principles, your teachers and your families, I ask them,
how are the Children?
Because that is the most important thing to me,
how you are doing.
No, we will do our best and whatever it takes to ensure that you
have a wonderful school year, you deserve nothing but the best.
So now that I've shared a little bit about me and my commitments
towards gaining access for you for all of you,
I ask you to help me because along with your principles and your
teachers,
I need your help and collaboration to ensure that you have an
amazing school year. So here's what I need you to do.
One remind yourself that you are the best,
you are the best and you deserve the very, very best.
You're beautiful and you matter to have a positive attitude
because your attitude determines your success,
be kind to one another.
Sprinkle kindness like it's confetti smile a lot and smile at
people.
Most people will smile right back at you three, help each other.
We are our brothers and our sisters keeper.
For get involved in student activities, join a sport,
the debate team, student government,
I will be meeting with student leaders to help me understand
what opportunities you would like to see more of in your schools.
Number five study hard dedicate as much time that you do to a
lot of your outside activities,
including television and video games,
dedicate some more of that time to your studies.
It's often said what you put in,
you'll get out and good grades help you to be successful and you
feel good when you have the good grades,
set your academic goals for each subject.
Now quite often we may need help.
Please please reach out for help when you need it,
Your teachers, your community, Our community,
we will be there for you. So on that note,
I look forward to meeting you in the coming weeks as I conduct
school visits.
All the best for new school year scholars of D29 because it's
you that makes our district shine, take care and be well.
