A FOCUS ON
A message from Superintendent, Joe Gothard
FUTURE READY. COMMUNITY STRONG.
In June, I had the pleasure of seeing our new tagline in action at the commencement ceremony
of the Burnsville High School Class of 2016. The ceremony itself is a recognition that these
students – the school’s 60th graduating class – are ready for their futures, and their stories
make it clear that they are products of a strong community and have also contributed times
and talents to strengthen their home towns.
They’re ready for the real world. For example, DeAndrea Grey, one of the class speakers,
shared her plans to attend college to study animal science and eventually veterinary surgery or
pharmaceutical research. She also shared with me wise words from her father, Donnie, who told
her: “The sky’s the limit and you can do anything you put your mind to with a little hard work.”
That’s the feeling we want all of our students to have when they leave Burnsville High School:
VJCVVJG[CTGEQPƂFGPVVJG[JCXGVJGUMKNNUMPQYNGFIGCPFUWRRQTVVJG[PGGFVQRWTUWG
their dreams.
.KMGQWTNQIQYGCTGEJCPIKPI9KVJ8KUKQP1PG+oOEQPƂFGPVVJCVYGCTGITQYKPIUVTQPIGT
as a district and as a school community, preparing all of our students for bright futures.
Future Ready. Community Strong. We are One91.

Future Ready. Community Strong.
Graduate, DeAndrea Grey shared her plans
for the future and words of wisdom from her
father who told her: “The sky’s the limit…
you can do anything you put your mind to
with a little hard work.”
Lifelong Learning
You may notice something different about this catalog, our website and other information
from our district. We have a revised logo and a tagline to go with it: “Future Ready.
Community Strong.” While you can’t capture everything about an entire school district
in four words, I think that simple phrase says a lot about what we are and what kind
of school community we want to be.

The course will touch on orchids generally
available to the consumer, but will emphasize
the most common orchid for the home: the

orchids in general, how to select an orchid,
environmental needs, several approaches to
care depending on your level of enthusiasm,
orchid pests, and repotting. There will be
a handout with additional sources for more
information and orchid sources. WARNING:
Orchids can become an addicting hobby.

Beginner Obedience
Come to Me!
Learn the dog training basics of Sit, Down, Heel,
Stay, and Recall (Come) commands. You will
need a target stick beginning Week Three (we
will discuss options for making or buying target
sticks Week One). Dogs come to class wearing
>y>ÌLÕVŽiVœ>À­ "V…œŽiœÀ«ˆ˜V…Vœ>Àî
and a 6-foot strap leash. Please, NO retractable
leashes. Any other needed equipment will be
included in the class description. Oct 12, class
will meet in the Giraffe Gym.
Have you ever worried about your dog not
coming to you when you call? We’ll work on
teaching quick, happy recalls. Beginning with the
third class, you’ll need a 15-20 foot leash or light
piece of rope so that we can go outdoors safely
(weather permitting). We’ll discuss long line

The non-listening dog who spends a lot of

things, is usually very intelligent. You will learn
tested behavioral techniques, including clicker,
to help you harness your dog’s talents. This is
not a standard obedience class. Your dog will
likely learn some obedience behaviors, but most
of your time will be spent learning techniques
to get your dog’s willing participation in the

Obedience C
Prerequisite: Orientation
Prerequisite: Obedience B
Dogs are pretty smart, but let’s face it - you can’t
train a dog who is not paying attention to you!
This module will teach you how to get your dog’s
attention, and will also give you strategies for
keeping it when your dog becomes distracted.
While your dog will not develop perfect “pay
attention to me” skills in four weeks, you will be
equipped to continue working on this skill at
home. Focus on getting and keeping the dog’s
attention in different contexts, and introduce the
dog to the initial stages of name recognition and
the Recall (Come!) command.
We will work primarily on duration in this
class. “Duration” is a “keep it up” skill---both
“Stay” and leash walks are exercises using
duration. We will work on Stay and on longer
walk distances in this class. We will also introduce
various “garden-variety” distractions so that your
dog can learn to maintain solid stays and polite
leash behavior in settings where you often go.

Loving that Gentle Leader
The Gentle Leader head halter is extremely
useful for training or for simply walking a dog
who pulls on a collar. However, many, if not most
dogs dislike wearing the GL initially. This class
will teach you how to introduce your dog to the
Gentle Leader head halter, so the dog will be
happy about wearing it. We will teach you how
to acclimate your dog to the halter, and provide
a checklist for you to use so that you can go
home and teach your dog to LOVE wearing it.

Dogs are great learners, but they tend to focus
on details that we humans may not pay attention
to. The result can be that your dog understands
“Sit!” at home . . . but can’t sit on command
when you’re out-and-about. This class will focus
on identifying distractions that are especially
challenging to your dog, and will teach you how
to help your dog generalize the skills they know,
so that they respond Anytime-Anywhere!

They strongly encourage parents to attend
one of their parent classes, watch the parent
class online or review parent information
at www.safewaydrivingschool.com.
Parent Classes Safeway strongly
encourages parents to watch the online
videos that provide important information
about the teen driving process for parents
of registered students. If an in-person

Early Childhood programs:
1. Social-emotional development is the
foundation for strength and growth.
Children thrive in all areas of development
when their social-emotional needs are met.
2. Connecting children with nature through
outdoor learning experiences is crucial to
a child's healthy development and future
ability to care for the environment.

A typical class includes:
Parent and child play experiences. Playing together in the planned early childhood
environment builds the parent/child relationship, supports children’s development,
strengthens social skills and fosters a joy of learning.
Adult discussion with a licensed parent educator. Talking about how children grow
and develop and discussing ideas about parenting and learning skills to help children thrive
supports adult learning and families.

of Progress is an important tool used to guide
curriculum and assessment, and is used to
meet the developmental needs of all children.

As you can see from these quotes,
we are in very good company in our
belief that play is the foundation of
learning. Learning Lab classes offer
children the opportunity for focused
play so children can learn naturally.
Our classroom is set up with
play stations. Parents will receive
corresponding information that
highlights some key learning that
takes place at each play station
as well as ways to expand play at

READY TO GROW & READY TO LEARN
Quality Curriculum Designed to Help Your Child Grow and Learn
The Ready to Grow and Ready to Learn curriculum focus is on school readiness in the areas of language and literacy, science and math, creative art
and music, dramatic play and movement, as well as health and nutrition. We believe play is a central component to the curriculum. Early childhood
research shows children learn best when engaged in hands-on learning experiences which occur during a child’s play. Tuition is listed on page 101.
Ages 6 weeks to 5 years

exploration, creative movement, literature
and visual art/sensory exploration.
Children learn during biweekly science
