Maverick Minutes
Week of 9/5-9/8
What An Amazing Start!
Newcomers will soon learn that my long walks around the city of Salisbury serve as the influence behind these blogs. My walks are usually less athletic and more photogenic as something usually catches my eye. Today, the city is booming with patrons during the Labor Day weekend and what caught my eye are the signs local businesses have displayed to attract customers. This city often is a symbol of kindness and today was no different. What attracts students to your classroom? Are they eager to come in? The signs in the streets appeal to me to check out the store...a few simple words can persuade a lot of people! We have ordered new poster paper to make signs for you. Come check out my door and check in with the library and Mrs. Warr for assistance! A simple sign may go a long way!
September is officially here and we are rolling. Remember to take your time to ensure the rules and routine have been firmly established. Students should know the voice volume in the hallways and understand the importance to move from class to class in a timely manner. Tardies will begin to count, so emphasize the sweep. It only takes one class, one group to get everyone off, so please take the time to ensure they know the expectation.
Thank you again for the attention you give to instruction, the relationships you are building and the continuous urgency you give each and every day for the Ridge to Raise!
We are so thankful for all of you!
