The Texas Legislature designated December 9 as Educational Technology Appreciation Day. This week, we would like to recognize our tech-leaders who are pushing our district forward in the area of technology integration. Tatum ISD is the leader in technology integration, and this week we would like to thank the leaders who make our district what it is today.
Please join me in thanking the following tech-leaders:
- Wes Boyd, TISD Technology Director,
- Don Hill, Computer Tech
- Cindy Haston, THS MITS (Media Information and Technology Specialist)
- Veronica Wilkerson, TES MITS (Media Information and Technology Specialist)
- Cristi Whiddon, TMS MITS (Media Information and Technology Specialist)
- Jennifer Day, TPS MITS (Media Information and Technology Specialist)
Growing Excellence (+10 for ALL)

With one more week until Christmas break, some kids are excited about Christmas, while others are anxious. Some who look at their school as their home away from home will not be able to come to school for 2 weeks. With that being said, reinforcing your relationships with kids is very important. It helps them get closure for the 2015 year and potentially can give them hope that 2016 will be an even better year. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with your kids on a personal level and inspire them to aspire for excellence with they return in January.
