Thought for the day: School offices must serve as sanctuaries where S's, parents & staff are served in a manner that leaves them feeling like they're the most important person in these moments of interaction. We must see ourselves as Directors of 1st Impressions...via #Culturize
“Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness.” @RJPalacio
Character is how you treat others who can do nothing for you.

We need 4-year degrees AND 2-year degrees and industry recognized certificates. There is not one path to success. Let's not focus on one or the other! We want students to look at all options and make informed decisions on what is best for them! https://t.co/lOpKyj5D2g
Punishing a student teaches them that they shouldn't do something.
Having a student make things right and receiving coaching from an adult teaches them WHY they shouldn't do something.
