Congratulations to Nick Robie, euphonium in the 2022 All State Band!

I really need folks to understand that the work teachers have done over the past 2 1/2 yrs is nothing short of extraordinary. I've seen teachers whose own lives have been upended by grief, illness, & instability continue to show up for their students in countless, remarkable ways

“If you don’t trust, you try to control.” - Dr. Becky Bailey. She said children who spend their energy controlling are disengaged. Disengaged kids disrupt. So how do we help? Know them well, create safety, and build trust. @ConsciousD

@WaukeeNWGirlsBB @WaukeeNW @GrantRaganEl @NWHSWolves Wishing you wild success!

Thanks for being our first home, Grant Ragan Elementary! 🐺🏀

This year I've watched this team step forward when a teammate needs it. I've watched them care about the well being of children in ways that touch the heart. I've watched their vulnerability, and I've seen tremendous generosity.  They’ve shown the very definition of love. 💜

We love to see your morning meetings! How do you change your morning meetings as the end of the school year approaches?

💜

We hosted our first school-wide morning meeting with some of our virtual learners today! SO much joy! @GrantRaganEl @responsiveclass #waukthetalk

Grant Ragan welcomed @MrazKristine today to help push our thinking around empathy, executive function, and a redefined literacy workshop. Looking forward to this partnership!

We have two of the best ⁦@GrantRaganEl⁩! Thanks for everything you do for kids, Mrs. Bleckwehl and Mrs. Simons! 💜🖤💛💜🖤💛 images.app.goo.gl/zfHyAEGRnBxCLo…

Got to spend time with this dream team at #TLCKC19. So thankful for @WaukeeCSD’s commitment to coaching and mentoring - these professionals are absolutely vital to our work! #waukthetalk

Successful leaders know when it's time to lean in, but also demonstrate intellectual humility. They know when it's time to say "I don't know" or "I was wrong." #TLCKC19

If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. #TLCKC19

We need to be sensitive to a student's past, but we also need to not let it be an excuse for not moving forward. We need to still have high expectations for all kids, but provide extra support to the kids that need it. #HackingSchoolDiscipline

Back at it with THE BEST! #waukthetalk #GrantRagan

One of my favorite days of the year- Warrior Walk! Welcoming new and familiar faces to Grant Ragan. 💛💜 #waukthetalk

Jack received a letter and questionnaire from his new teacher yesterday. Love that she closed with this question, and was struck by his answer. ❤️

GR will continue to protect the first 30 minutes of every day for morning meetings in every K-5 classroom. It’s no surprise that for many students, it’s the highlight of the day! ❤️
