I am excited to welcome back the newly hired teachers to the Hutchinson School District this Monday, the newly hired support staff this Tuesday, and all staff on August 21.
We are only 2 weeks away from the first day of school!
Itโs going to be a fantastic school year!
The #1 priority of admin should be staff morale.
Everything else is secondary. Here's a few tips:
* give them a voice
* Trust them as professionals
* Treat everyone as individuals/ humans
* Respect their time
* Show them you care personal/professional
* celebrate/ appreciate
The MN Legislature is considering a bill that mandates max class sizes: 17 or less K-3, 21 or less 4-9 & 23 or less 10-12
The concept is good but there are 3 main obstacles: cost of new staff, finding new staff, and a lack of space
In Hutch this means hiring 32 additional tchrs
This week is Public Schools Week. I want to thank the Hutchinson Public School Staff for their dedication to excellence and providing our students with a world-class education!!!
