Take my hand and come with me,
I want to teach you about ADHD.
I need you to know, I want to explain,
I have a very different brain.
Sights, sounds, and thoughts collide.
What to do first? I can't decide.
Please understand I'm not to blame,
I just can't process things the same.
Take my hand and walk with me,
Let me show you about ADHD.
I try to behave, I want to be good,
But I sometimes forget to do as I should.
Walk with me and wear my shoes,
You'll see its not the way I'd choose.
I do know what I'm supposed to do,
But my brain is slow getting the message through.
Take my hand and talk with me,
I want to tell you about ADHD.
I rarely think before I talk,
I often run when I should walk.
It's hard to get my school work done,
My thoughts are outside having fun.
I never know just where to start,
I think with my feelings and see with my heart.
Take my hand and stand by me,
I need you to know about ADHD.
It's hard to explain but I want you to know,
I can't help letting my feelings show.
Sometimes I'm angry, jealous, or sad.
I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and mad.
I can't concentrate and I lose all my stuff.
I try really hard but it's never enough.
Take my hand and learn with me,
We need to know more about ADHD.
I worry a lot about getting things wrong,
Everything I do takes twice as long.
Everyday is exhausting for me...
Looking through the fog of ADHD.
I'm often so misunderstood,
I would change in a heartbeat if I could.
Take my hand and listen to me,
I want to share a secret about ADHD.
I want you to know there is more to me.
I'm not defined by it, you see.
I'm sensitive, kind and lots of fun.
I'm blamed for things I haven't done.
I'm the loyalist friend you'll ever know,
I just need a chance to let it show.
Take my hand and look at me,
Just forget about the ADHD.
I have real feelings just like you.
The love in my heart is just as true.
I may have a brain that can never rest,
But please understand I'm trying my best.
I want you to know, I need you to see,
I'm more than the label, I am still me!!!!

Keller ISD Employee Handbook
The new 2018-2019 Employee Handbook is here! The purpose of the handbook is to provide you with information that will pave the way for a successful year. The handbook is a guide to and a brief explanation of District policies and procedures related to employment.
Employees have the option of receiving the handbook in electronic format or hard copy, therefore it is provided in electronic format unless otherwise requested. The Employee Handbook may be accessed on the Keller ISD website within the Staff tab under the Human Resources section. A hard copy of the handbook may be obtained through your campus or department.
Each employee has acknowledged receipt of the handbook upon hire. Employees will be notified of future significant changes in policies and procedures through normal communication channels, such as campus/department staff meetings and District Wide Wednesday.
For more information, employees may refer to the policy codes that are associated with handbook topics, confer with their supervisor, or call the appropriate district office. The Board Policy Manual is located in the Superintendent’s office and is available for employee review during normal working hours, or on the District’s website, http://www.kellerisd.net, under Board of Trustees.
Please remember that policies and procedures can change at any time. It is your responsibility to read and comply with revisions made to the handbook throughout your employment.
It is the expectation and the responsibility of each employee to read the Employee Handbook in its entirety. Topics that are of special interest to employees in this year’s handbook are:
- Electronic Communications between Employees and Students – responsibilities and restrictions
Please contact your supervisor or the Human Resources office if you have questions, concerns or need further explanation.
