Principal's Principles
Happy Week 2...
It was great getting into everyone's room this past week and I was happy to see the building-wide expectations being highlighted through Procedures * Procedures * Procedures. Continue to teach the expectations:
Be Safe & Kind
Be Respectful & Responsible
Be Thinkers & Leaders
Please make sure you have lesson plans available in your room. As we begin to jump fully into instruction, gather Beginning of Year (BoY) data, use your time wisely and effectively to plan aligned lessons to the standards.
How are we doing with parent emails? Don't forget to add me to your Class Dojo.
