First Day With The Students

Wow! I must say today was one of the smoothest school openings I have ever experienced! I believe most of it was due to our Meet The Teacher/Open House event we had to inform the parents ahead of time.

Meet The Teacher/Open House Trails

Well yesterday was a very exciting day. We took the greatest group of teachers and a bus and went to see where our students lived. We passed out flyers for our Open house event. We saw several students and you can probably imagine their shock when they saw their principal and teachers walking the neighborhood inviting them to come to the school Friday.

Greatest Teachers!

Culture and relationships are critical to improving the academic success of students. I have to admit it feels great to work with the greatest group of educators in my district. I opened the building up for teachers to get thier rooms ready for school and around 90% of the teachers took advantage of this. I visited the building to day and it is obvious our STARS theme has teacher buy in.
