Message from Superintendent of Schools Luke Allison
Fox Families and Community,
Good afternoon. Summer has flown by, and we are getting ready to embark on the 22-23 school year. We are excited about the opportunities that await our students. We have been busy with construction, general maintenance, hiring, and safety planning this summer.
The high school construction is on schedule, and we will begin the year in our new school. Finishing touches will be going on for the foreseeable future, but that was anticipated. As planned, we will open the multipurpose facility in September and the auditorium in December. Both buildings will bring many opportunities to the district and the community.
Maintenance and upkeep on other buildings have been ongoing as well. Our custodial, maintenance, and groundskeeping staff work hard to ensure that all our facilities are in great shape to welcome our students and staff. We will install a new awning at our Intermediate Campus and fencing was added at Lee Elementary.
Our campuses are close to being fully staffed. The teacher shortage across the state and country is a reality. We have wonderful teachers in Caddo Mills ISD, and we must continue supporting, valuing, and appreciating them. Caddo Mills believes in creating a partnership between school and home. Parents and guardians play a huge role in ensuring students' success at school. More than ever, we will strive to increase parent engagement this year.
I know that safety is at the forefront of everyone's mind. In early Spring, the CMISD Board of Trustees voted to create our own police department. We hired Chief Ramon Rodriguez in June. Chief Rodriguez will be in charge of all safety plans for our district. We have been working diligently to review and adjust plans.
I hope you are ready for our best year to date! We have so many reasons to be thankful that we live in this great community and that our children attend this tight-knit school. We are all in this together and look forward to your partnership throughout the school year.
