Chasing my constants. Also: never put a skunk on a bus.

[Virginia Stout @Virginia_Stout]

When there are inconsistencies in the hours we can’t shape, we are called to offer consistencies throughout the hours we CAN shape.

Compassion, active listening, expectations, empathy, celebrations of growth. These are the constants for which I want to be known.

I introduced myself to two different families at the beginning of two different meetings today as “Virginia Stout, OG member of (student name)’s Fan Club” and “Virginia Stout, lifetime member of (student name)’s Fan Club.”

10/10 recommend.

Will repeat this intro.

“My actual role on this PBIS committee is best described as ‘if you want to buy all the students a Ferrari, I have to steer you away from that.’ And fire marshal concerns.”

I think I should reframe my role and make it more like “wrangler of creative solutions with a low budget.”

Today my @PaperMate Handwriting pencil helped me take notes during meetings called Super SITs where we talked through the various needs of students on campus to make sure we were water around every rock.

Saw a commencement speech on the socials that inspires me to describe folks by their attitude, the way they treat others, and what makes them uniquely beautiful.

I’m a human:

doing: assistant principal

being: a compassionate person who genuinely wants to part of a solution.

My @PaperMate handwriting pencil helped me notate bus routes when I figured them out in our new transportation system!

My @PaperMate pencil is holding a a spot for me in my office today as I attend a district meeting off campus all day.

Why didn’t I take my favorite pencil with me to the meeting? Because it’s nice to return home to a friendly face.

Had an AMAZING day yesterday working with @MrsCaroNelson to build classes and refine the special education schedule.

There was also pizza.

And music lyric quotes.

And cats! 🐱

That moment when you’re home alone and fist pump the air because you figured out a way to make two students have speech therapy together who need to focus on language.

And they have different extra programming needs.

AND IT STILL WORKED OUT PERFECTLY.

This is my campaign to replace “in for a penny, in for a pound” with “in for a dime, in for a dollar.”

Some think the revolution is over; perhaps it’s simply been underground this entire time.
