I am super excited to present the last of a VaSCL 3 part series, "Together in Partnership: Family Engagement, Positive Relationships, and Thriving Schools."

In Workshop 3, we will discuss:
"Turning Relationships into Results: Thriving Schools Through Partnership"
😀 Stronger Together: Aligning Students, Staff, Families, and Community Partners Around a Shared purpose
😀 Making It Stick: Systems and Practices that Sustain Engagement
😀 Seeing the Difference: Measuring, Celebrating, and Expanding Your Impact

Hope you're tuning in tomorrow night and are ready to move from Connection to Action!!! @scl_va @pammoran @PowhatanSchools @welv_va @VATLL_VASCD @ITTIPSTEM @LongwoodCGPS

@LongwoodCGPS @LongwoodRll When we are intentional about including parents /caregivers in our students’ learning journeys and truly work to create a partnership with our families, the positive outcomes will multiply! Keep rocking it Madison!

I loved leading four round table discussions at the VAESP Conference this year. This was the second year for this type of breakout session and it did not disappoint. Participants had 14 topics from which to choose and each attended 4. It was fast-paced, high energy, and super fun to lead.
And yes, I had confetti!

@unfoldthesoul They make or break this important work.

Ready for Day 3 of the VAESP Conference and the first day of July 2026!
If you are an elementary or middle level leader or an aspiring leader, or if you are central office supporting elementary or middle level leaders, be sure to mark this conference on your calendar for next year. This is the only conference like this in Virginia, and you should be here. When registration opens, jump on it. It will be sold out!
Join other outstanding leaders across Virginia and learn, lead, lean into one another for years to come. This is where the inspiration for Virginia school leaders happens—and this is how you can start your mornings!

Tag team, back again!
The CCES trio reunited today at the #VAESP26 to share our story through Hacking School Culture and Beyond the Framework: Bridging MTSS. It was great to reconnect, reflect on our journey, and share the work that continues to shape @ccesdukes ! #WeAreCUCPS

[Ginny Gills @GinnyGills]

@AknightApril Got to keep it glittery!

Impact isn’t accidental... it’s a decision you make every day.
