Funny thing about the strongest person you know is that they feel the same fear, doubt, and insecurity you do. They’ve just learned to act despite it.

We love celebrating the incredible teachers and staff who make our school such a special place! Today was an extra-special day as we honored our Teacher of the Year, Ms. Raleigh, and Support Person of the Year, Ms. Jones! 🎉 Both are deeply valued by our school community for their teamwork, positive attitudes, and unwavering “Yes, I can!” spirit. Their dedication and impact can be felt throughout our school and, most importantly, seen in the success of our students. We are so grateful for all they do and proud to celebrate them! ❤️👏 @OCPS_DES @miss_raleigh @rmccloe @YJHwang_OCPS @GlennaEWyatt @APBVaz @BWorrell_ @Mariolagr

Each week, a Stingray Standout is selected by staff to recognize the OCPS Values of safety, integrity, people first, collaboration, and excellence. Our staff selected Ms. Boston to receive the first Stingray Standout Award. Boston went above and beyond to make our teachers and staff feel special during pre-planing. She was the wizard behind all the fun, and organized the teacher field trip!

Using social media in middle school predicts lower standardized test scores in high school. 10th graders who started social media before 9th grade are ~6 months behind their peers on math & reading. They're more distracted by their phones. No child should have access to social media.

Before the excitement of the first day of school, our Leadership Development team had the privilege of visiting our newly appointed principals to wish them a successful school year and remind them that they are not alone on this journey. @CSO_OCPS

It’s better to attribute success to grit than natural talent. 5 studies: Highlighting how accomplishments depend on hard work—not just innate ability—builds confidence and boosts performance. A key to motivation is recognizing the connection between effort and excellence.

Before the hustle of a new school year kicks in, the West Creek Wildcats leadership team traded lesson plans for bowling shoes. 🎳 A few strikes, a lot of laughs, and some well-earned team time before we roll into another great year for our staff and students. Go Wildcats!

Impostor syndrome: “I don't know what I'm doing. It's only a matter of time until everyone finds out." Growth mindset: "I don't know what I'm doing yet. It's only a matter of time until I figure it out." The highest form of self-confidence is believing in your ability to learn.
