Lansing USD469 2021-2022 Fourth Quarter Newsletter
Lansing USD 469 Family,
As we have reached the end of the 2021-2022 school year, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your generous support through another school year. Trusting USD469 with your child is one of the greatest gifts parents give to a school system. Reflecting on the growth a student achieves over a year makes being an educator worthwhile. The first day and last day photos are always a highlight to me this time of year.
Thank you to our Lansing USD 469 staff, who have met the challenges this year. The continued support that is provided by our staff to all of our families is why we truly have the "best of the best" here in Lansing.
Personally, I would also like to thank Miles Azzeh, Director of Teaching and Learning, for his hard work this year. The focus on academics from a dedicated employee is helping move USD469 forward. The focused work on our Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum (GVC) will help our district with transparency to what is being taught at every grade level. He has also helped shine the light on all things academics through his Academic Spotlights. Spotlights highlight the great work our teachers and students accomplish as they make learning fun and engaging.
USD469 continues to look toward the future and will need the community's help as we begin a strategic planning process at the beginning of the year. This process will help us set long-term goals that have our community's wants and desires at the forefront. If you would be interested in serving on this strategic planning committee, please reach out to me at dan.wessel@usd469.net. Our final product will be our roadmap for the district for the next five years.
I want to congratulate our graduating seniors and their parents and wish them the best of luck as they transition into the next stages of their lives. To our returning students, I hope you have a restful summer break, and I look forward to seeing you in August.
Dan Wessel
Lansing USD 469 Superintendent of Schools
