This year, the Goddard Education Foundation, alongside our Legacy Partners, Lange Real Estate, were thrilled to present the #265Family Award to 15 outstanding educators and staff members from across the district, from nominations submitted by grateful families, dedicated students, and fellow staff members, all eager to shine a light on the incredible work being done every day in Goddard Public Schools. The #265Family Award, honors these finalists who not only embody the spirit of our #265Family but also consistently demonstrate a significant, positive impact on our students, staff, or the entire USD 265 school community.
The Eisenhower Middle School winner was Brett Klepacki, a School Psychologist, who was nominated by an EMS parent. His nominator wrote, "Mr. Klepacki has gone above and beyond with our child (and I'm assuming many others) by supporting him with the special needs he requires to succeed in school. Mr. Klepacki took the reins for assessing/re-assessing our child fully and steering the development of his new IEP. He made us as parents feel "heard," and has gone above the call of duty to make our son feel more confident about getting his homework completed, with building and maintaining friendships, and with staying organized and communicating clearly.
Mr. Klepacki continues to meet weekly with our son to "check in" and determine what additional help is needed. He built a Google Doc for our son to use each day, which helps to communicate what is happening between school and home. We have very much appreciated all the time and effort Mr. Klepacki has made with our child, and we feel he deserves recognition for exceeding his job responsibilities. He doesn't just evaluate and place a child appropriately; he also follows up and makes adjustments to plans when they are needed."
Congratulations again Mr. Klepacki, for all you do make Goddard Public Schools a family!
