I am. 💜 @KittredgeCubs

[Dr. Jessica Stephens @DrJStephensVP]

Who else is incredibly proud of how seamlessly teachers transitioned to remote learning over the last month (which in most areas was still a foreign concept prior to this pandemic)?

Teachers, you inspire me every single day & never cease to amaze me!👏

This is one of the best things I’ve seen in about five weeks 😂

@PhilBildner I’m so afraid this is what our country is becoming. Thank you for not being quiet. Thank you for seeing, hearing and loving our LGTBQ+ students and for not being complicit with the message this school appears to be sending. Love and light to you ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Every student doesn't have parents. This is what inclusion looks like:

A few things I learned as a principal:
▶️ Never going to please everyone.
▶️ Suspension doesn’t change behavior.
▶️ Parents are sending the best they got.
▶️ 90% of your challenges come from 10% of the people.
▶️ NOTHING replaces a solid teacher.

A1: For literary essay, sentence stems can be helpful to help kids who are new to lit essay writing try out different kinds of claims. These options can help them to see more in texts than they would otherwise! #tcrwp

Yes and can we please get rid of “you can’t check out any more books until you bring back the one you lost” policy? Stop it now. Let’s spend as much time on how to get books into their hands & cultivating voracious readers! 📚 #Reading #readingcommunity #readingrocks

[Ryan McClellan @regsuptrmac]

The Royal Table began sending groceries home on the weekends for students in need earlier this school year. We're excited that next week families will start receiving books each week as well! #redbud132 #LeadLIT @RBESRoyalTable

Principals , you may not control raises, but there are things you can do to help with the high turnover rate.
* treat staff like professionals
* give voice & accept input
* show appreciation continually
* respect their time
* find ways to raise morale
* support them & needs
