Off to a Great Start

Thanks for a great first day everyone! The anxiety of the morning gave way to calm and order by the afternoon. The students looked happy and at ease, and that speaks to the climate you have helped to establish.
Listed below are just a few notes and reminders as we go forward this week:
  • Be sure to sign in by 8 am each morning.
  • Direct students to use/refer to their agenda often. We are teaching organizational strategies.
  • As you heard this morning, our focus is "Respect for self, respect for others, respect for school." Please reiterate this to your students and enforce it consistently.
  • We are in the process of gathering sweat pants, belts, and t-shirts for use with our dress code violators. Feel free to donate items!
  • It is very important that you report on time with your classes for lunch. This helps us serve lunch and seat students quickly.

Thanks again for a great first day!
