A Message from the Superintendent

Disponible en:

The 2022-2023 school year is here! Welcome back, everyone.

I am writing this letter full of excitement for the new year and looking forward to seeing all our students and staff back in our schools tomorrow. As I reflect on the excellent work we’ve accomplished in the 2021-2022 school year, I am excited about the great things to come.

I look forward to building on our progress and continuing to offer our students access to high-quality schools and learning experiences for all.

Every position has value. Having risen to the superintendency, I know it takes a village to raise our students. It takes leadership, commitment, dedication, hard work, and sacrifices to impact students’ lives. So I thank you for choosing Aldine and for choosing to make a difference here.

We know that connections are so crucial to the work we do. I encourage you to make connections in your schools, offices, and departments across the district. Go outside your campus, office, or department. Connecting is an excellent opportunity to grow in developing relationships and helping each other to come up with solutions to enhance our work. It is the reason we chose #AldineConnected this school year as our hashtag.

Tomorrow, welcome our students and families with joy, and be sure to share on social media using the hashtags #AldineConnected and #AldineBacktoSchool2022. While I won’t be able to visit all 84 campuses tomorrow, I will follow you on social media to capture the spirit of our first day of school.

Teachers, staff members, and leaders, I am grateful for how you put the time into making sure our students feel welcome. Thank you, teachers, for sparking imagination and creativity. Thank you, staff, for getting our students to and from school safely, feeding them nutritious meals, keeping them safe and healthy, and giving them beautiful, clean environments to be proud to call their schools.

I don’t know about you, but the excitement about the first day of school will keep me up tonight, counting the hours until morning. Let’s make many incredible connections tomorrow with students, staff, and families!

 It’s going to be an amazing school year! Let’s make it the best year ever!

With Aldine Pride,

Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney
Superintendent
