The 2026 All Staff Kickoff Meeting will be held at the Cedar Falls office beginning at 9:00 am on Wednesday, August 26. This year’s theme is Legacy & Impact. Impact is the immediate effect of your work right now – the teacher you coached yesterday, the family you supported this morning. Legacy is the long-term result of those daily efforts. It isn’t built overnight or created by policy changes; it grows over time through thousands of everyday human connections. Looking back at both our successes and our challenges will give us pride, perspective and a clear roadmap for where we are headed next!
Schedule for the day
- Social time: 8:30–9:00 am
- All Staff meeting, keynote speaker and service award recognition: 9:00–11:30 am
- Sector and team meetings: 11:40 am–1:50 pm
- Discipline and team meetings: 2:00–3:00 pm
Lunch
Lunch will be staggered by team, with some groups starting earlier and others after 12:40 pm. Everyone will have a full hour for lunch, and your teams’ lunch time will be shared during the meeting. Tacos el Pariente will be parked in the lower west parking lot as one option for purchase. (The lower lot is accessed from the main entrance parking lot – this is where you enter the building to get to the elevator or sound booth downstairs). Staff are also free to leave campus and have lunch elsewhere if desired. Thanks for being flexible!
Other details
Additional team-specific logistics will be provided the day of the meeting, including a quick links document that will feature important resources and links (document will be linked the day of the All Staff – keep checking back). If you have questions, please reach out to your supervisor. We look forward to seeing everyone on August 26 and kicking off another great year at Central Rivers AEA!
