Superintendent's Message

Dear Community,
What a busy September! It has been wonderful to see so many of you at the Open Houses held in each of our buildings. Please remember to take every opportunity to participate in your student’s education. If you have any questions about how you might do that, feel free to call the principal at your student’s building.

We are quickly approaching the November election where three School Board positions are on the ballot. Be looking for opportunities to gather more information on candidates and be sure to vote so your voice can be heard. Community organizations are working together to provide a forum for candidates to meet with community members. Your participation will help educate you on each of the candidates prior to the November vote.

Many of you have asked questions regarding the Superintendent Search that is currently underway. Last spring, the Nine Mile Falls School Board appointed me as the Interim Superintendent for the 2007-2008 school year. At the same time, they made the decision to gather community input through a search process in hiring a permanent Superintendent. That process has begun and will continue for the next few months. There will be opportunities for community input a couple of different times throughout the process. Again, I would encourage you to participate and have your voice heard in the direction of this incredible school district.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me, 340-4300, or email me, blewis@9mile.org anytime.

Always for kids,
Bridget Lewis
