District Spotlight - Syble Hopp E M P O W E R I N G S TA F F , E L E VAT I N G S T U D E N T S Syble Hopp School kicked off the year with two energizing days of professional learning centered on collaboration, inclusion, and student success, facilitated by Learning Services Specialists Jessica Cappaert and Becky Steensen. Teachers and paraprofessionals began by strengthening their teaming practices, followed by a day focused on asset-based language and practical ways paraprofessionals can build student independence and confidence. The staff’s enthusiasm, thoughtful participation, and commitment to students made the experience especially meaningful. Principal Jodi Alex shared, “We’ve received numerous accolades regarding the quality and engagement of your presentation.” Syble Hopp continued this momentum in September. Literacy Specialist Sarkis Wentland delivered a half-day workshop on current assessment practices and teachers r eflected on their current practices while brainstorming strategies for adapting and modifying these to meet the needs of their students.
Schools across our region benefit every day from the visionary leadership and dedication of local school boards. This Wisconsin School Board Week, CESA 7 is proud to celebrate these leaders and express our sincere appreciation for their service! We are especially grateful for our CESA 7 Board of Control. Thank you, board members, for your guidance, insight, and steadfast commitment to strengthening education throughout our community!
