Welcoming School, Welcoming Classroom
They will come! And we will welcome them! Our community agreement for the first day of school is that parents and kids will come straight to their classroom. We will open the doors at 8:30am. At 9am parents and guests will be invited to meet in the gym for an opportunity to sign up for PTA, Wednesday After-school activities, and put money on lunch accounts. Let's get excited for this new way of welcoming our community.
BE 212: Every Monday Matters
What are you willing to consider doing in an exceptional way for the benefit of:
...your students?
...their parents?
...your teammates?
...your colleagues?
...yourself?
What do you need to move past the edge of good to great? What about from great to exceptional?
