NORTH SUMMIT SCHOOL DISTRICT

WE BELIEVE PEOPLE ACCOMPLISH MORE WHEN THEY ARE INVOLVED AND INFORMED

Welcome

  • Resilience is the ability to bounce back when you have every reason to shut down, but you fight on. When you do poorly on a test or an assignment, you learn from it and do better the next time rather than beating yourself up or quitting. When you serve people and they don’t appreciate you and continue in their same dilemma, you continue to serve them. When you are trying to lead people and affect change, and it doesn’t happen like you expect it to, you get creative and find more effective ways to lead them. When you choose to live in a way that feels right to you and others mock you for it, keep on doing the right thing. These are examples of being resilient.

     

    Resilient people aren’t afraid of making mistakes. They don’t let frustration get in the way of their creativity. They don’t let their weaknesses determine who they are until those weaknesses become their strengths. When criticism comes their way, they don’t use it for an excuse to quit. They dig in and become better because of it. They surely don’t allow negativity to penetrate their souls. Negativity flows off their backs, and they fight their way through it.

     

    According to Christian Moore, the author of The Resilience Breakthrough, “If you’re not willing to be wrong and sometimes fail, you’ll never come up with anything original.” He also claims that “second only to love, resilience is life’s most important principle. Resilience enables you to deal with the day-to-day grind, the pain and challenges of life.”

     

    The challenge for all of us is to become more resilient. In doing so we have to be careful to not let all of the awards, accolades and pats on the back cause us to settle and be satisfied where we currently stand today. We should use the positives in our lives to fuel and ignite us to greatness. Whether we are students, educators, or parents, we can make our lives better by working to become more resilient when life throws its many challenges our way.

     

    Have a great December and a wonderful Christmas season!

    We at North Summit School District are committed to providing parents and students with accurate and prompt information in the event of school closures or other urgent matters impacting our schools and community. Depending on the type of emergency situation, the district utilizes the following methods of communication: direct telephoning, information placed on the district's website at www.nsummit.org, emailing, cell phones, emergency radios- between schools and the district office. Keeping parents informed helps to assure student safety and provides peace of mind. In an effort to improve communications with our families, we are requesting that all parents Like our Facebook page, North Summit School District, and friend North Summit. Facebook is a very great tool for getting information out quickly. We also suggest that you update your personal information including address, email, home and cell phone numbers for anyone you would want contacted in the event of a school closure or emergency. Sometimes this information is updated at one school for one child, but does not always get changed on all students in the same family. Please help us by contacting the schools or district office if you feel your information may be out of date.
