School Begins for South Country Central School District Students
South Country Central School District students disembarked from bright
yellow buses with backpacks and school supplies on hand for the start of
the 2019-2020 school year on Sept. 4. The students were greeted with
warm smiles and well-wishes from faculty and principals as they filed
into the buildings ready to begin instruction and make new friends.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph Giani said he was impressed by the
district’s smooth opening and the teachers’ and students’ enthusiasm and
motivation to begin instruction. “I am confident that the 2019-2020
school year will be productive for district faculty and a wonderful year
of learning for all South Country students,” Dr. Giani said.

New Faculty Welcomed to the South Country Central School District
During a three-day orientation program, 25 educators were welcomed to
the South Country Central School District by the board of education and
administration and were familiarized with the workings of the district
on Aug. 20-22.
In addition to a warm welcome by Assistant Superintendent for Personnel
and General Administration Nelson Briggs and Assistant Superintendent
for Curriculum, Instruction and Accountability Marlon Small, new faculty
members learned how to utilize the district’s technology, employee
benefits and payroll, and took tours of the district and their
individual buildings.
Presentations included information on how to reach every
parent/guardian, how to create a culturally responsive learning
environment, classroom management and positive intervention strategies,
teachers’ union, training in Response to Intervention, Common Core
Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards.
The board of education and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Joseph Giani
also hosted a luncheon at the administrative offices to formally welcome
new faculty to the South Country family. After introducing the
administration, Dr. Giani noted that each and every South Country
employee, regardless of their role and title, impacts student learning
and contributes to the district’s mission to educate all students, even
though successes may not always show up in the classroom.
During his opening comments, Dr. Giani told the new faculty that he
believes that if each and every child has a connection with one adult in
their school, that child will be academically and emotionally
successful. “I challenge each of you to make connections with your
students and build relationships with their families, regardless of who
they are, where they live, or their socio-economic status,” Dr. Giani
said. “Teaching isn’t easy, but what can be a more important profession
than one that shapes the mind and lives of children.”
