The CESA 8 Leadership team revisited the agency's mission, vision, and values based on feedback from staff, superintendents, and the Board of Control. We want to thank Greg Gauthier for helping us with this valuable work. In the coming weeks, we will share more about this work that will guide us.

CESA 8's Jenny Ambrosius recently led a Project-Based Learning Assessments and Rubric Workshop that facilitated the district's design of project learning plans and assessment maps. Jenny always does a great job, but on this occasion, she was exceptional as she led this work on a day when the building lost internet service, and we all know how important the internet is in our world.

We hope all the dads in the crowd have a great day.

CESA 8 Staff, along with teachers, specialists, and leaders from six CESA 8 districts, recently met for the last of eight day-long knowledge-building sessions on Leadership in Literacy.  Thanks to all who participated!

CESA 8 is the site for S.M.A.R.T. training this week. S.M.A.R.T. training is a multi-sensory approach to learning designed to develop and enhance the physiological and neurological readiness skills students need to succeed in school. With these readiness skills in place, students have the necessary tools to learn to read, write, and receive information in the classroom. Thank you, Amber Molle, from the Pulaski School District, for facilitating this work!

This is the last call for this free professional development opportunity. https://www.cesa8.k12.wi.us/events?id=28581699

We want to thank everyone who participated in today's workshop, Connecting the Dots: Leveraging Best Practices for OT & PT Support in Your District—special thanks to Carlynn Higbie for making the trip from CESA 1 to facilitate the event.

CESA 8's Director of Business Operations, Nick Curran, recently presented "What CESA Can Do For Your Business Services and Operations" at the WASBO Spring Conference. We are proud of our business office's work with school districts, and sharing our best practices at conferences is another way to support education.

CESA 8 took time to honor some milestone anniversaries at our year-end picnic. Please join us in congratulating these employees for their years of service at CESA 8.

We wish the class of 2024 all the best in your future journies.
