Willard Middle School
WE LEARN. WE LEAD. WE SUCCEED
Announcements
- Thank you for a great day on Friday! It was awesome to see all the students across the district at one event! I have lived in Willard my whole life and there has never been a time when the school district has been all together. Many students in the South part of our district have never been to Willard until they come to the Intermediate school. I think it may be a start to a new tradition for our school district!
- McDowell sent an email to the staff last Thursday about Focus. As a reminder, teachers will be putting students in Focus starting this week. We will use a spreadsheet similar to the one we used in the past. Students will not sign up for Focus until the student view in Empower is up and running. I will send the link out by Monday morning for the spreadsheet. We will post the Focus list in the cafeteria and outside the office as we have in the past. Students will need to view this on Wednesday and before school on Thursday. Please let your ACTION classes know and we will announce over the intercom as a reminder.
- FYI - McDowell asked some great questions about how students will sign up for Focus once they are in Empower. I will work with departments to determine what would be best. As soon as we have the details figured out, I will communicate the plans.
7 Habits Theme: Growth and Change
Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what “first things” are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. If you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a disciple, a follower, of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the integrity, to put your values above your feelings, your impulses, your moods.
