This Week at AES
8/1 - 8/5
This Week at a Glance
I believe we are primed for one of the best years at Audubon. Last year we tackled many challenging changes. I am still inspired with the way you took on every challenge and persevered. This year for our memo, I will be sharing the major info areas for the week and posting a snip of the shared calendar. Please refer to the shared calendar for a full list of events.
- Welcome back Teacher Visits are Monday August 1st. We will have a brief meeting in the Media Center (maybe gym depending on progress today) at 8:00
- Back to School Event is Thursday, August 4th. Almost every staff member will need to be here for that event. The tentative assignments for the night is listed in Google Docs. I will be sending out a final listing by Tuesday. We will be opening the doors at 5:30, so please be at your station and ready by that time.
Inspiration
But our job is tough. We have kids who don't want to be loved, parents who don't want your caring, and a society that doesn't value learning the way that we do. It would be very easy to complain about the stress, low pay, and constant criticism from those who have no idea what school is about.
Though it would be easy to complain, you don't. I am so fortunate to work with people who are focused on kids and take the gift of working with these families seriously. You guys inspire me. It is because of you that I know this is going to be a great school year.
