Welcome back – Ringing in the New Year

Here’s to hoping you all had a relaxing and fun holiday season! To those who had the opportunity to take some time off – and those who worked during a very quiet week here at the ESD, we are appreciative of all you do for the ESD, our districts and all the students we serve. Since January is typically the start of many healthy New Year’s resolutions, make a commitment now to participate in the many Commit to Fit activities! Sarah Coomber hosts a fabulous Yoga for Cube Dwellers break that is guaranteed to relax and recharge you!

January is also Board Appreciation Month and we want to thank our FABULOUS board members who volunteer their time to govern our agency. These individuals are deeply committed to the ESD and each of them values the work you do. One of their favorite parts of our monthly board meetings is employee recognition, where they get to see your pictures and learn about the fabulous team we have here at ESD 112.

New ESD website roll-out…coming soon!

After a year of planning, research, building, editing and development, we’re oh so very close to launching our new ESD website! After unveiling the site to the ESD Management Advisory Team and our Board of Directors later this month, we’ll be sure to send the link to all employees first before the big reveal. THANK YOU to all the web editors and participants in the upcoming ADA trainings. Special thanks to Laura Martin and Heidi Barnes for building the new site!

A busy month ahead

The Regional Superintendent’s Meeting, WSLA Team Work Sessions, Donuts with the Director, ESD Board Meeting, ECEAP/EHS Policy Council Meeting, ESD Staff Training, ESD Management Advisory Team Meeting and the WSSDA/WASA/WASBO Legislative Conference are just a few of the items on our calendars this month. Lots of good work happening here at the ESD and beyond!
