Kaitlin has really helped me out every day with something new as a first year teacher. She helps me with such grace and understanding which is exactly what I am looking for. She not only takes care of her baby at home but me! I appreciate all she does for me and so happy she is my grade level teammate.

Not only did she step up to fill a role for the district, her compassion and dedication show through on a daily basis. While entering into a new position with a lot of unknowns she has handled it with grace. Asking questions without fear and constantly striving to do what is best for her students. Sherri is without a doubt an Ultimate Warrior.

Mrs Ellis is calm, patient and caring. It is impressive the amount of focus she gives to the kids and what she gets in return. Her classroom is a safe space for kids to learn not only the fundamentals, but also work on the art of following instructions and listening. She is consistent with the positive energy she gives off and it is appreciated.

Students at SSD elementary schools can earn Tribe Tickets for positive behavior, which they then can use to "purchase" items from a menu. These students from Eagle Heights Elementary School "purchased" eating lunch with their teacher. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based three tiered framework designed to promote positive behavior and support student success through building-wide expectations, 4:1 positive interactions, and individualized student success plans based on student needs. #ssdpride
