Welcome to the 2022-23 school year!
The staff at Norwood Elementary continues to look forward to partnering with our families and the community. The teachers have been busy with preparation to provide the best educational opportunities for the students and this year we enter our 4th year as a Leader In Me school. You will see throughout the building our identifies which are our 7 Habits by Stephen R. Covey.
Habit 1: Be Proactive (being responsible and making good choices)
Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind (set goals and plan ahead)
Habit 3: Put First Things First (set priorities and be organized)
Habit 4: Think Win Win (encourage others and solve conflicts)
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood (listening)
Habit 6: Synergy (value others’ ideas and work well in teams)
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw (eat right, exercise, get enough sleep and help others)
All students will have 8 Days of initial learning and then it will be integrated throughout each and every day. We plan on returning to have our Leadership Days that we had started several years ago. Students across the building choose an activity of interest and students at all grade levels work together with this activity. We will continue to provide families with activities and information to help support them at home. Our Family & Community Action Team will once again have fun activities to support Leaders at home!
We are excited for a great school year and if you ever have any questions feel free to contact me directly!
