A Message From Mrs. Jessica Moceri, CSA District Superintendent

Dear CSA District Families,
“What are your hopes and dreams for the school year?”
This is a question CSA District teachers ask your children in the first weeks of school. It helps them feel excited about learning and begin making personal connections to what they will experience throughout the year. Inviting students to share their learning goals (their hopes and dreams) shows them that school is a safe place, that they are valued members of the classroom, and that they can look forward to an engaging, challenging, and joyful year of learning and growth. Establishing this classroom tone is one of the most important things our teachers do at the start of the year.
For many children, “having fun,” “making friends,” and “feeling happy” rise to the top of their values. Others share desires such as “feeling welcomed,” “feeling safe,” “learning a lot,” “being helpful and needed,” “feeling important,” “working hard and accomplishing hard things,” and “sharing good ideas.” These words reveal students’ deep need for belonging, significance, and engagement. When teachers listen closely, they are able to connect the work of school with what truly motivates their students.
For some, school accomplishments alone may not feel meaningful. These goals come alive when tied to broader human aspirations, such as pursuing a passion, feeling competent and autonomous, and making contributions to a community they care about. Each year, I am amazed by the ambitions our students express… they dream BIG!
We also want to hear from you. This month, your child’s teacher will be reaching out to learn more about your hopes and dreams for your student as they prepare for Fall Comprehensive Student Review meetings in the weeks ahead. We look forward to sitting down with you and dreaming big together.
With high expectations,
Jessica Moceri
