Observing every new detail and wondering what is to come on the first day of school. Nervously awaiting what the class environment will be. While this may typically be the perspective of a new student, it can, like this year, be the view of the school’s new staff.

New work experience coordinator Beth Flock has been embracing every detail of the campus. “I love my office, I love the trees, and everyone is just so nice,” she said. Flock manages to keep a gleaming smile on her face while she is constantly running errands around three campuses. She is in charge of Pacific Law Academy and Weber as well as Stagg.

Aside from being constantly busy, Flock’s biggest issue so far was “just setting up.” She has already set a goal which she hopes to accomplish by the end of the school year. “Just to make the job (work experience)  happen and to get the work permit classes started,” she said.

Another teacher who is adjusting to the campus is Madalyn Gonzales, director of student activities, yearbook advisor, and teacher. She manages her classes as if she has been at this school for years. Transitioning from Edison to this campus made teaching yearbook and leadership easier, because she has taught this material before.

Like Flock, she has also been having a positive start.“The staff is so welcoming, I have never really worked with a staff that has been so helping,” Gonzales said. Not only is the staff helpful, but the students are as well. “I haven't had one behavior issue this year, which is unusual,” she said.

However not only is Gonzales making adjustments to her new position on campus but students are as well, explained senior class president and co-editor in chief of  the yearbook, Sabina Griffen. “We are adjusting to each other just fine and I know if we continue to work together we will have a successful year in both classes,” she said.

Gonzales stays busy and multi-tasks by monitoring both the classroom and the student store. She assigns students tasks to complete by the end of the period.

Along with the productiveness Gonzales is setting goals for herself and the students, she explains. She challenges students to increase the number of year books sold and create a superb yearbook. To make sure these goals are met she holds meetings periodically.  “We have meetings every time we meet instead of just once a week,” said sophomore Anthony Wimmer. She plans to help produce a more detailed yearbook and bring  a different perspective to the yearbook, by making them not just about memories but also informative.

Keeping success in mind Gonzales plans to involve every student in the yearbook. “To lead student activities I want to make sure that every student is involved and no one is invisible.”
