Superintendent Swift's Listen and Learn:
We Are Ann Arbor
School and Community Forums
Join the Ann Arbor Public Schools Superintendent, Dr. Jeanice Swift,
on her school tour – visiting, listening and learning about our neighborhood schools!
Mitchell Elementary School
Thursday, September 26 – 6:30 p.m.
Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Swift, will visit each school in the district to meet, listen and learn from school staff and school families. These visits will conclude in December just before winter break. Periodically throughout these fall visits, Dr. Swift will share some initial impressions. A final report, Listen and Learn: We Are Ann Arbor, will be presented to the Board of Education and the community in January, 2014.
At each of the schools, Dr. Swift will first meet with staff at the end of the school day then meet with parents, guardians, and community members in the evening. She will ask her guests to consider four questions as she gains knowledge about the school district, individual schools and the community AAPS serves. Guests will be asked in small groups to discuss:
- What is going well in the district and what are we proud of?
- What areas need our attention?
- What do we dream of and hope to achieve for our children and AAPS over the next 10 – 15 years?
- What are the top priorities you would like to see Dr. Swift address?
Please join Dr. Swift at Mitchell on September 26 at 6:30 p.m.! If you can't make your school night, please feel free to attend any of the more than 30 scheduled evenings.
