Dear Taylor School District Parents/Guardians and Community
Members,
I hope this letter finds you well. The faculty and staff of the Taylor School District are so
excited to welcome you back. This summer was extremely busy and we have made
significant investments in instructional technology with the addition of over 2,000
Chromebooks and iPads, and the installation of Clevertouch smart boards in our
classrooms.
We have added STEM technologies at all levels with the
addition of virtual reality headsets, and technology integrated lessons taught
in lab environments with an emphasis on experimentation and learner focused
inquiry. In addition, prepared for the opening of Taylor High School by
expanding the number of elective courses, added football and wrestling at the
middle school to help build the athletic feeder program, and have also added
competitive cheer at the High School.
In addition to the above, we have installed all new air conditioning
in Taylor High School, replaced windows at a few of our elementary schools, and
made upgrades to heating and cooling systems in other buildings.
These are just some more examples of how the Taylor School
District is using the bond funds that the Taylor voters approved two years ago.
On behalf of the students and staff of the Taylor School District, thank you
again for supporting these important improvements!
The district administration is also working with the City of
Taylor, SEMCA and Ford NGL to continue building our network of business and
industry partners as we open Taylor High School in four district career pathway
academies. By creating multiple
curricular pathways within the one high school, the Taylor School District will
be elevating our high school above that of our neighboring districts by
providing greatly expanded foundational career and college ready opportunities
for all of our students.
Welcome back to all of our returning students and a warm
welcome to our new students and families.
I wish everyone an amazing year and my team and we are committed to
doing the very best we can to make that happen. Please don’t hesitate to call me with any questions you
might have.
Sincerely,
Ben Williams
Superintendent, Taylor School District
