Saying Goodbye...


Dear Families,

Friday, November 19th will be my last day with Visions in Education.

I realize that this is a big message that has a big impact. Please know that this was not an easy or casual decision - It took a lot of time and careful consideration. 

What does this mean for you?

There is nothing that you need to do. You are in great shape. You have your curriculum, semester plans are up to date, fall assessments are complete, grades and progress are on track, and you know what you are doing. Scheduled meetings for this week will go as planned.

You will be assigned a new Visions teacher beginning after Thanksgiving break - at the start of LP4. Your new teacher may even contact you this week. That teacher may do things a little differently, but not much. We all have the same requirements. However, your new teacher might structure meetings differently, they may be more stringent on seeing progress in every subject at every meeting, they may not quite understand everything you have been doing to work towards your educational goals. But that is to be expected. You will be able to work with him or her to figure out a process that works. Just like we did together. 

I will have access to my Visions email and phone until 4:30 pm on Friday. After that Visions will cut off access to those accounts. If you have questions after Friday, or would like to keep in touch, make sure to contact me using my personal phone number: (925) 337-1972. 

Thank you for allowing me to work with your family. It has been an honor and a privilege that I will be forever grateful for. I will miss you and wish you all the best.
