Happy Friday, McKinley!
Just a reminder of today's bowling plan. Hope you have a great time bowling!
All in the Hall:
Just a friendly reminder about morning arrival. We have an "all in the hall" mindset that we've used for years. When arrival time comes, all staff are in the hallway greeting students as they come in. Please be mindful of this. I understand that this is a time to talk to each other, as well. However, our biggest priority is that welcome committee ensuring that students are greeted with a friendly smile. For reference, here is some background and possible ways to greet students.
Cause I Ain't Got A Pencil...
I've shared this in the past - a great reminder for us all. Every time I read this, I am reminded to listen to our students to empathize and understand each of their lives. We often assume - and use our biases - to determine what we think students should do. However, when we really listen, we find out that there is more to the "story" than we are observing. This always leaves me thinking - is this really an issue in the big picture of things?
