Cady named top BCSD certified employee

Joanne Cady has been named September’s Boundary County School District Certified Employee of the Month.

Cady is a special person, district officials said. She has the qualities needed to do her job excellently and displays them daily. She is patient, adaptable, and organized. This school would not operate in the fashion it does without Joanne.

First and foremost, Joanne is patient. She is able to slowly and calmly deal with issues which would frustrate others quickly. She cares so much for each child she can’t help but make sure they learn no matter how long it takes. She often reminds me to give another chance or try another way in order to make sure the student has the best chance of success.

Joanne is also very adaptable. Her room was recently relocated during a busy time of the year. Rather than be angry she worked with the team to help make her new environment the way she wanted it. She faces a lot of unforeseen circumstances and always adapts to make the best of them.

It takes a lot of organization to do her job and fortunately Joanne has that skill maxed out. She keeps track of students individually not only in her class but in others as well. I can always count on walking in her room to find out what is going on school wide even in other teachers’ classrooms.

I’m not sure how she does it all but Joanne is a lifesaver at our school. I can honestly say I would not be able to do her job and I certainly can’t do mine without her doing hers. Thanks to Joanne’s patience, adaptability, and organization we can rest easy that students at BCMS are well taken care of.
