24 hours later - @Verizon has activated my phone. #frustrating #backinthegroove

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

@Verizon welcomes its new customers by providing a phone with no service and no ability to provide service. Going on Day 2. This is a problem. #staywithATT

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

@Verizon @verizonsupport Day 2 of no phone service on my new phone. It is beginning to be more of than an inconvenience when it impacts clients ability to connect with me. #welcometoVerizon

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

@VerizonSupport Verizon says no new customers can activate their phones for next 48 hours. ???

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

@Verizon @VerizonSupport Trying to set up new phone service. After 3 hours of attempting activation, Verizon says it will be 48 hours before new phone might work. No call no texts nothing. That's one way to go off grid. If you are considering Switching to Verizon, DON'T

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

@VerizonSupport My phone service does not work. I just got off with customer support (Verizon) that said this will take 48 hours. I just traded my old phone in and upgraded to new phone. Did the data transfer and then it wouldn't/couldn't activate new phone. This is not ok

We are fast approaching the THIRD school year of dealing with COVID.

THIRD.

There are incoming second grade students who started school in 2019 who have never experienced school without the presence of COVID.

Patience… compassion… and grace are more important than ever.

True courage is having the strength to admit our weaknesses.

A3: I would use my veterans in leadership roles to help guide and troubleshoot new experiences. Learn alongside them. #MLDSchat

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

A2: Looking forward to learning some "new" best practices in virtual mentoring from my practicing leaders out in the field.... #MLDSchat

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

A1 Be available and be open to new ideas and let them suggest and create. Spend a whole day in their "shoes" and experience it from their viewpoint - whether virtual, F2F or hybrid. #MLDSchat

Hi! Julie Sperry, MLDS, St. Louis here to chat! #MLDSchat

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

@mccluskey_gena @MLDSchat @HOMRPDC YES! YES! YES!

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

As building leader, how are you helping your teachers focus on relationships first? Grant them permission to do NO content work for the first few weeks so they believe they can just do people work.... #MLDSChat

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

Q3: Focus on relationships FIRST before worrying about a syllabus, a book, an assignment, etc. The kids (and everyone) are fragile right now...RELATIONSHIPS. Show you care! #MLDSChat

[Julie Sperry @DrJSperry]

Q2: I urge educators to go slow to go fast. Don't worry about content coverage - focus on the SEL of the students. Check in frequently. How are you doing? What is going well? What would help?
