Update From the Executive Director
PATRIOT DAY
Next Wednesday is the 18th anniversary of 9/11. Like many of you, I can remember where I was and what I was doing on that tragic day. About 8:00 AM (CST), I walked into the commons area of New Mark Middle School, where I was principal and glanced at the TV. Instantly my attention turned from supervising students to seeing unspeakable events unfolding before our eyes. My assistant principal, Rick Dayoub, called district office as we were strategizing on next steps. We spent the rest of the day meeting and consoling students and faculty as well as greeting parents as they picked up their student from school. As we approach “Patriot Day” in our schools, it is an opportunity to remind students how our country was united in this calamity. The importance of first responders in our communities, devotion, bravery, and “service above self” are other reasons to share once again, how we can find strength in unimaginable adversity.

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL PRINCIPALS MONTH...INVITE YOUR LEGISLATOR TO YOUR SCHOOL...ADVOCATING FOR PRINCIPALS, WITH PRINCIPALS
"Every year in October, the American Federation of School Administrators (AFSA), the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP), and the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) join forces to celebrate principals for their tireless dedication to their students and the schools they serve. This year, National Principals Month is shifting focus and using its platform to advocate on behalf of principals. These school leaders fight every day to give their students the best education, and it’s time we advocate for them and with them. Lend your voice this October to honor, celebrate, and advocate for principals everywhere." NASSP
Now is the time to start or strengthen a relationship with your elected official(s). You will help to educate them on important issues before the legislative session begins in January. Having them interact with staff and students will also provide essential insights for them. As they deliberate on educational issues during the legislative session, they will reflect on their visit to your school. FIND YOUR LEGISLATOR: Enter your home or school’s address for a list of state and federal legislators in your area. Write a letter or email inviting them to visit your school. If needed, follow up with a phone call. Our MoASSP office will assist you in scheduling and coordination. Call us at 573-445-5071. Once you have them scheduled, please share with us the date they are coming. Consider watching this webinar on why and how to host a legislative visit to your school.
MoASSP Action Center...WE NEED YOU! Lets be ready for the next legislative session that begins in January.
- home address
- cell number
- personal email (not school)
- You will then receive a text message from 528-86 with the following message: "Reply YES to confirm your subscription to Missouri Association of Secondary School Principals Action Center.
It is that simple. You do not have to send a message to your legislator to become an advocate. When we have an action item that needs support, we will be ready to act.
