Staff News 8/19-8/23

I hope you all had a fantastic first two days of school.  Thank you for making things flow so smoothly.   I love the feel of the first day of school.

Now would be a good time to review the Big 8 engagement strategies to help set the tone for the school year.

I am excited to have all of the “Read” posters from SEDC.  I will be putting them in frames to hang outside the library.  They look fantastic.  I also have several posters with quotes and positive messages.  I will also put them in frames so they can be hung in our halls.

Please note on the calendar that we have a fire drill Friday.  If you could go over the procedure for the fire drills.  Most of the students are used to fire drills.  

Have a wonderful first full week of the school year.

Thought:  “The decision to undertake change more often than not is accompanied by a kind of optimism and rosy view of the future that, temporarily at lest, obscures the predictable turmoil ahead.  But that turmoil cannot be avoided and how well it is coped with separates the boys for the men, the girls form the women.  It is…rough stuff….There are breakthroughs, but also brick walls.”  Sarason, S. (1995) The work of Restructuring Schools

Have a fantastic week!
