Principal’s Prose
Greetings Team,
Welcome back! I hope you had a great weekend and found time to invest in the "business" of "Yourself, Inc.", as it is important to do so! It is especially essential given the fact that we are presently in the leg of our journey I commonly refer to as "Rock-tober." No journey would be complete without benchmarks, check points and challenges, and this month (my favorite, btw:) always has enough for us all!
For those of us who have seen a "few" seasons in education, we know that the month of October unpacks one of busiest and challenging seasons of the school year. With the first six weeks already behind us, things begin to accelerate as the focus of exactly what needs to be done becomes clearer and more specific. October is that fertile piece of "calendar real estate" that provides a place for data analysis, intervention, reteaching, reevaluating and reassessment. It is the place where harvested data must produce intention, and in turn, intentional planning then produces execution. If our students are to be successful in reaching their full potential by year's end, the designs crafted and moves made in October will have played a key role in that factoring, and that time is now!
In closing, this time of year can be hard as a "rock"and at times we feel as if we are placed between a "rock" and a hard place. It only comes with the territory as the leaders of students we are and aspire to reflect. No matter the challenge, this month's unique nature presents the opportunity for us to come together, where all is one, and one is all (hidden rock-music reference). Working together, we can turn "Rock-tober" into the sound stage for Sudie TAG Rock-stars!
Make it a great week Team!
Rock On,
MJ
