First Day Announcements

Teachers,

Thanks for your attention in faculty meeting today. I also appreciate some of the excellent feedback that you have given me regarding some of our policies, etc.

I forgot to mention a couple of things (see, I told you I would!):

1. When taking up forms from your students, please do not send them to the office until you have a form from everyone. Also, please help the office staff by putting the forms in alphabetical order before they go to the front office. It is most important that we get back everything we give out, so please keep good records.

2. I failed to mention dress code, but let's be sure to get on that from the get-go. If we all are consistent in reminding our kids to keep those shirts in, from day one, we can keep a handle on this one.

3. Let's meet in Kathy Pirtle's room for just a few minutes tomorrow after the dust settles to debrief and give me an opportunity to go over anything that I have missed (I'm sure there will be something). I promise -- I won't keep you long!

4. One final thing - The new teachers who attended my classroom management seminar last Friday will receive CEUs. The form should be in your box. Please fill it out and return it to Diane Berney (you might want to make a copy for yourself as well).

Remember - You never get a second chance to make a first impression. If we get this year started out right, and remain consistent and unified, we'll have a great school year.

Thanks so much for all you do!
