Check it out, will be a great conversation!

Good evening. Welcome to the #VAESPCHAT ! Please share your name, work location and role. Additionally, name two people you wish to publicly thank for supporting you as you dove into leadership or have helped keep you afloat over the years!

Q1 What literary or math routines, strategies or approaches made the biggest splash in student growth this year? As you swim toward summer, which of those practices are you planning to dive right back into next school year? #VAESPchat

Let's go #vaespchat Andy Jacks here, shout out to Dr. Andrew Buchheit for his constant mentorship and great advice!

Q2 As the tide of hiring season rolls in for the upcoming school year, what advice would you offer your colleagues to effectively recruit and hire staff who will help advance your Division and school’s goals? #vaespchat

Daily phonics instruction made a huge difference, tripled our percentage on grade level reading levels this year #vaespchat

A2 - Remember that every day is an opportunity to market your school and recruit. They are always watching even when you don't see it. Sell your school every chance you get! #vaespchat

Q3 Engaged parents don’t just wade in - they take the plunge, emotionally invested and confident their child is valued. As you prepare to dive deep into continuous improvement for the 2025-26 school year, how can these deep connections guide your planning? #vaespchat

You can't make real improvements without knowing what your families need and want. Don't guess. Ask and use their feedback early and often. Try to be as specific as possible. #vaespchat

Congratulations to our kindergartners who reached for the stars and moved up their reading levels this year! #EllisExplorers
