Principal's Corner
What's Going On In My Intermediate World
One Word Blog
I am currently doing a blog with my teachers over Jon Gordon's book, One Word. If you have not had time to read this book, I encourage you to do so. It is a very quick read and is a great way to find a focus for each day. We are going to be implementing One Word this year with students and encourage families to take up the challenge as well.
The Saxton Homestead
This summer, my family has purchased land and moved in order to start a "farm". I use the word farm loosely as I am not sure how successful we will be in holding true to what a farm entails. We have definitely created an atmosphere of funny animals and great memories so far! Feel free to ask me about my donkeys, goats, chickens, rabbit, dogs or cat any time!!
Transition
For those of you who are not aware, I was previously the Brock Junior High Principal. The transition to the Intermediate, with all of the building construction, has definitely made for an interesting and exciting summer. I am delighted to have the opportunity to work again with students in grades 3rd, 4th, 5th, & 6th. Prior to Brock ISD, I was an administrator and counselor on a PK - 6 campus in Joshua. I appreciate the chance to make a positive impact on kids, no matter where I am, and look forward to the amazing year ahead. Thank you for your support as we get started on a phenomenal 2018-2019 school year.
SUMMER POSTCARDS
Each summer I mail out postcards to the students that will be on campus. I do send these out in waves, one grade level at a time. I have mailed out all grade level cards. I do have cards for the new students to Brock and send those out usually during the first week of school in order to ensure I get everyone. If your child did not receive my postcard, please let me know. I am diligent to ensure that each child gets one and do want to be informed if one does not get delivered. Feel free to email me to let me know since our phone systems: isaxton@brockisd.net.
My Family & Me
A little bit about my family: my husband, John, works for TCU as a Network Engineer. My daughter, Morgan, will be a Sophomore at BHS this year and is a manager for the BHS Football team. As I said before, we have started our homestead and spend lots of time at home tending to the animals and the property. I enjoy reading and you will see that I post the various books that I read, for both professional insight as well as personal reflection, in my weekly newsletters. I am huge on communication and work hard to try and help keep staff, students, parents and community aware of the various things we have going on around campus. I am blessed each day to serve others and look forward to serving you.
