New Addition

Mohamoud Nur

The Godfrey-Lee Technology and Media Team is proud to announce the addition of a new Network Technician. Mr. Mohamoud Nur was approved by the Godfrey-Lee Board of Education and has started his tenure here in the district.

Mohamoud attends Davenport University and currently possesses an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Computer Networking and is seeking a double Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Networking and Network Security. Mr. Nur has also obtained certifications in relevant fields.

With the continuation of our 1:1 Technology Initiative and the addition of many more mobile devices throughout the district, the need for this position has never been more necessary. Mohamoud will begin assisting in the deployment of our mobile devices, then he will be working alongside our Network Administrator to ensure our network is secure and capable of supporting State testing initiatives as well as future device roll-outs.

Please welcome Mohamoud to the family and be sure to let him or any other member of the team know how we can help you.

Moving Forward

Last week, the Technology and Media team said goodbye to one of its valued members. Our Network Administrator, Dan Verwolf, accepted an opportunity at another institution and will no longer be working for Godfrey-Lee Public Schools. This is certainly a bittersweet ending to the week as we say farewell to our friend, yet we know that he is moving on to another level of his career. We are extremely happy for Dan and his family as they make this transition.

Working alongside Dan has been a rewarding experience for me, through the years we have shared many conversations that I will remember for a lifetime. He has openly shared his knowledge with me and I am grateful for that today. Even through our disagreements I feel that my beliefs and ideals have strengthened because of him. Dan’s creativity and innovative thinking has been a contributing factor in the growth of Godfrey-Lee’s Technology program and the success that has come from it. We were blessed to have him as a part of our team and he will be truly missed.

With that being said, we must continue to move forward providing quality support for the Godfrey-Lee School District and its stakeholders. We are determined to deliver a level of continuity for our staff and students as we come to the end of a tumultuous school year. We know that none of us are perfect; we all fall short sometimes. However, we are willing to strengthen the areas in which we are weak, embrace our failures and use them to take us higher. In a time where K-12 education is fighting to stay afloat, teachers and students need support more than ever. Our Jobs go beyond providing technology support. We must let our teachers know that we support them in every way.

The Godfrey-Lee Technology and Media Team is ready to go above and beyond expectations. We are ready to be more than a voice on the other end of the phone. We are ready to stand on the front-lines and prove that Godfrey-Lee is a community worth fighting for, because our kids are worth fighting for. We have some of the best students in West Michigan because we have some of the best Educators in West Michigan. Standing together, there is nothing we can’t do.

Here’s to a new frontier.
