Description:  Exemplary Staff Recognition:
 
Criteria:  At Millersburg ASD, outstanding service means creating a welcoming, respectful, responsive, and student-centered experience for every student, family, colleague, and community member—regardless of a person’s role or position. Outstanding service is the consistent practice of listening, communicating clearly, responding promptly, following through, and treating every person with dignity and respect, while keeping student success, safety, and well-being at the center of our work. For all district staff, this means:

• Welcoming: We create an environment where students, families, staff, and community members feel valued, heard, and respected.
• Student-centered: We make decisions with the needs, success, safety, and well-being of students at the forefront.
• Respectful: We demonstrate professionalism, empathy, patience, and cultural responsiveness in every interaction.
• Responsive: We acknowledge questions and concerns promptly and make every effort to provide—or connect people with—the right answer or resource.
• Clear: We communicate information in a timely, understandable, and accessible way.
• Accountable: We take ownership of our responsibilities, follow through on commitments.
• Solution-oriented: We focus on what we can do, identify options, and work collaboratively to resolve concerns.
• Consistent: We provide dependable service and apply district expectations fairly and equitably.
• Collaborative: We recognize that every employee contributes to the district experience, whether or not their role involves direct contact with students or families.
• Professional: We represent the district positively through our words, actions, appearance, communication, and reliability.

Every interaction matters. Every employee is a representative of the district. Our goal is for every student, family, staff member, and community partner to leave an interaction feeling respected, heard, informed, and supported. 

Exemplary Staff:  Cheryl Stone, our new custodian. Cheryl is friendly, positive, professional, and works hard to keep our school clean. Cheryl cheerfully works with a smile and pleasing attitude. She is consistent and follows through on her duties. My classroom is clean and tidy at the start of each day thanks to Cheryl!

Cheryl Stone - Cheryl works in the Elementary School as a custodian. I feel she goes above and beyond to make sure each classroom has a clean, sanitary room for the children and staff. She has compassion for the children and will take time to help them whether they a problem or just want to stop and say Hi. She tackles every mess with a positive attitude and knows accidents happen. She is also an awesome team player and will help one of her co-workers if they need help with a mess. When her duties are complete, she will check her rooms one last time to make sure nothing was missed. Cheryl takes pride in her job and our school.
