Superintendent Dr. Scarlett Miles Copeland is excited to emphasize our New School District Theme for this year, Appling’s Building Connections or better known as ABC! Our six Schools and the Central Office will be utilizing this theme to build better partnerships with our students, staff, parents, and community! This theme focuses on “Connecting” and “How to Connect” to make our schools and community a better place for all! A huge portion of “Connections” will focus on our “Words” and understanding “Words Do Matter”! Words impact our Relations, Relationships impact our Culture, and Culture impacts our Results!
We encourage each of you to join with our School District to emphasize our theme this year! Your words and connections do matter and will change our schools and community for the better! Each month our School District will publicize a “Word” or “Words” that we will promote throughout our 6 Schools, Central Office, and our Community. You could help us by placing these monthly themes on your Billboards or Advertisement signs and talk about them often with your children, family, friends, and business colleagues. Dr. Copeland stated, “We believe if we focus on these important words, it will promote a positive, healthy learning environment. This also promotes our 7 Mindsets Program that we began last year and are continuing to exercise full scale this year”! Dr. Copeland also reported, “there are so many more issues facing our students today than ever before, and yes academic learning is very important, but if we can encourage and build them up, they can achieve anything they choose”! Again, the school system invites everyone to connect with them and promote our monthly word list to empower our students, staff, parents, and community!
