A5: I simply can't shout out to only one staff member when I am SO PROUD of all of the Webster staff for their choice to "find happy" in this school year!

A4: I will take with me the goal of continuing to develop my building Google Site because it has been extremely useful for all staff and me. I will leave behind Word, PPT & Excel as much as possible and stick with shared docs. #wcedchat
A3: Offer multiple opportunities throughout the year for parents to sign up for the building level Remind. It really is helpful for keeping parents informed of important dates. #wcedchat
A1: Some of my tech favs for getting information out to staff and parents are SMORE for newsletters, Google Site for staff to find all important links,Remind, and our school Facebook page for keeping parents aware of what's happening at school in a fun way. #wcedchat
A4: We send staff Mattergrams once a month at Webster. This is a chance to let someone else in the building know what they did that mattered or made a difference to you . #wcedchat
A2: Know kids names, ask about personal/non academic things, use humor, let KIDS talk. Love the 2 x 10 strategy for hard to reach kids. 2 minutes a day for 10 days, just chat with them. I've seen it do wonders! #wcedchat
A4: Compliments & shout outs at team meetings. Staff wide emails of thanks. Mattergram Mondays - every staff writes/sends one once a month on a specific Monday. #wcedchat
A3: As a principal I'm doing a building wide thing during morning announcements the month of November. I give a prompt to share with others what you are thankful about and then share mine. It's fun! Kids stop me to tell me their answer when they see me in the hall.
