Happy Friday, McKinley!
Deep Thoughts....
Alright, I'm going to go deep and personal with you.
These last few weeks have been difficult. And, it isn't just one thing. I think the new has worn off. I have found myself stressed, short, overwhelmed, etc. This "spot" of stress is somewhere I will visit, but I don't like to live in it. I've been doing some deep reflection around why this is. As much as it's hard to admit it, I think it truly comes down to my perspective. Because I'm overwhelmed and stressed, I am seeking the negative things that are draining my energy. The above picture (one of my favorites) is something I'm going to take to heart over the next few months. I can't control what others do - what I can control is my perspective every day. I get that power in EVERY interaction to decide my perspective.
I only share this because I can feel it's heavy for many of you, as well. After you read this, take some time to think about your perspective - what "seat" are you taking every day on the bus?

Please make sure you are checking your students who are "media opt out". If you send students down with a Positive Office Referral, please put a post it note (or call) to let us know they are media opt out.
