Welcome Back! Superintendent’s Conference Days - September 3-4

The first day of the Superintendent’s Conference began with a heartfelt thanks to all staff and a warm welcome to newcomers, setting the tone for a year centered on growth and achievement. The agenda featured essential trainings and collaborative planning sessions, highlighting the district’s commitment to continuous improvement.

Superintendent Corey Graves emphasized the importance of everyday actions over grand gestures, challenging everyone to positively impact the lives of every child they encounter. He encouraged staff to go beyond the routine, investing in moments that reflect their dedication to students, the school, and the community.

"In the words of Walt Disney, 'Whatever you do, do it well,'" Graves said. "Let's strive to perform our roles with such excellence that others are inspired to follow."

On the second day, elementary educators participated in the "Capturing Kids' Hearts" Recharge workshop at Vernon Downs, facilitated by MOBOCES. Meanwhile, grades 7-12 staff engaged in collaborative planning sessions with colleagues from Madison and Morrisville Central School Districts, reinforcing strategies to foster positive relationships and enhance classroom environments.

"As we embark on this journey together, let's uphold a standard of excellence while nurturing the belief that every child can succeed," Superintendent Graves concluded. "Together, we will create an environment where each student thrives and reaches their fullest potential." With this inspiring vision, Stockbridge Valley Central School District is poised to make this school year truly magical, one small act of excellence at a time.
