COMMUNITY STRONG. In June, I had the pleasure of seeing our new tagline in action at the commencement ceremony of the Burnsville High School Class of 2016. The ceremony itself is a recognition that these students – the school’s 60th graduating class – are ready for their futures, and their stories make it clear that they are products of a strong community and have also contributed times and talents to strengthen their home towns. They’re ready for the real world. For example, DeAndrea Grey, one of the class speakers, shared her plans to attend college to study animal science and eventually veterinary surgery or pharmaceutical research. She also shared with me wise words from her father, Donnie, who told her: “The sky’s the limit and you can do anything you put your mind to with a little hard work.” That’s the feeling we want all of our students to have when they leave Burnsville High School: VJCVVJG[CTGEQPƂFGPVVJG[JCXGVJGUMKNNUMPQYNGFIGCPFUWRRQTVVJG[PGGFVQRWTUWG their dreams. .KMGQWTNQIQYGCTGEJCPIKPI9KVJ8KUKQP1PG+oOEQPƂFGPVVJCVYGCTGITQYKPIUVTQPIGT as a district and as a school community, preparing all of our students for bright futures.

Graduate, DeAndrea Grey shared her plans for the future and words of wisdom from her father who told her: “The sky’s the limit… you can do anything you put your mind to with a little hard work.” Lifelong Learning You may notice something different about this catalog, our website and other information from our district. We have a revised logo and a tagline to go with it: “Future Ready. Community Strong.” While you can’t capture everything about an entire school district in four words, I think that simple phrase says a lot about what we are and what kind of school community we want to be. 5 Adult Opportunities to Open the Door to Your Future ADULT EDUCATION Diamondhead Education Center Call 952-707-4126 or 952-707-4125 200 W Burnsville Parkway, B-Wing (One block west of Nicollet Avenue) Tammi Bernard, ABE Coordinator Judy Berndt, Secretary English Language Classes For Non-Native English Speaking Adults Classes meet morning, afternoons and evenings with licensed teachers.

This module will teach you how to get your dog’s attention, and will also give you strategies for keeping it when your dog becomes distracted. While your dog will not develop perfect “pay attention to me” skills in four weeks, you will be equipped to continue working on this skill at home. Focus on getting and keeping the dog’s attention in different contexts, and introduce the dog to the initial stages of name recognition and the Recall (Come!) command. We will work primarily on duration in this class. “Duration” is a “keep it up” skill---both “Stay” and leash walks are exercises using duration. We will work on Stay and on longer walk distances in this class. We will also introduce various “garden-variety” distractions so that your dog can learn to maintain solid stays and polite leash behavior in settings where you often go. 292A-A2 4 sessions Sa Sep 24-Oct 15 $55 12-1 pm DEC Classroom C 292A-B2 4 sessions Oct 3-24 7-8 pm DEC Classroom C M $55 Obedience B Prerequisite: Obedience A Loving that Gentle Leader The Gentle Leader head halter is extremely useful for training or for simply walking a dog who pulls on a collar.

We will teach you how to acclimate your dog to the halter, and provide a checklist for you to use so that you can go home and teach your dog to LOVE wearing it. 297-A2 297-B2 1 session Sep 21 W $35 7:30-8:30 pm DEC Classroom C 1 session Oct 8 Sa $35 10-11 am DEC Classroom C In this class, we’ll move on to Sit, Down, and polite Leash Walking/Heel.
