The Principal's Den- Helping us all to stay STRESS FREE
Here's the kicker.....Reality stinks! You will be involved in SIT meetings this week, common assessments (DCA window opens), dress-up days, changes in schedules due to meetings or for some, spinal screenings. You've been asked to come for an extra meeting after school this week or perhaps you had to schedule time with a parent. Our students are really testing some boundaries lately and we just don't know why or what to do! And then there's our personal lives...what's for dinner? What time is practice? Where is the game? Did you do your homework? And my personal favorite right now...how can you be failing in one or more of your classes? UGH!
Is it possible to take everything off our plates? Probably not, but we can lift each other up. We can hold on to one another. There are little pieces of LOVE all around us. Take a closer look around you. Your support system is right next to you!
Where's the LOVE?
The Bobcat 6
- Be prepared every day.
- Intentionally plan using a variety of strategies to meet the needs of all students.
- Seek solutions and always focus on what is best for kids.
- Know what you need to learn and seek the knowledge out.
- Build positive relationships and communicate effectively.
- Be accountable.
100th Day of School Activities - thanks TARA!!!
Subway for ALL!
Thursday February 16th the Wellness Champions group will be catering Subway for all of us, and providing a Lunch and Learn in the big lounge by one of their doctors regarding stress relief. Nurse Liz has placed a sandwich order form on the clear dry erase board in the office workroom. Please place your order by February 13th so she can return it to the company for ordering.
College Colors Days
Where in the World are Anna & Kristen this week?
Kristen - out Wednesday for Principal's meeting & will be in late on Thursday due to a parent conference where I get to play the part of the parent.
School Walk for Diabetes
Health Services is gearing up for KISD’s annual School Walk for Diabetes, and it is time to start thinking of silent auction gift baskets! If you are interested in putting together a basket, or know of an individual or business who would be interested please stop by and see Lis and share your idea(s). Big hits with walk participants tend to be jewelry, trips, car rentals, hotel stays, and date night themes. All proceeds go directly to the American Diabetes Association.
