It is time to get ready to go back to school.
Parents are getting ready to enroll their kids.
Students await New Schedules, Book Pick-up, and Orientation.
In schools, classrooms are getting cleaned up, chalk is being dusted off from blackboards, whiteboards are being cleaned from the accidental use of a permanent marker, screens and monitors are wiped down along with desks, chairs, and tables.
It is the last chance to check the air conditioning that will keep things cool these last few days of Summer as students return to a new year of learning.
Teachers are preparing posters, bulletin boards, cubbie holes, baskets, and welcome back packages.
Lesson plans are in the process of being developed, and finalized, so they can cover the many strands of standards students must learn.
Plans from previous years, whether they succeeded or failed, are updated and/or reassessed.
Trainings are taking place on topics from School Site Action Plans to new technologies that have been adopted for the classroom.
In this time when We (Students, Parents, Teachers, Principals, Administrators, Support Staff, Education Advocates) get ready to go Back to School let's make sure that we:
-Make Time to Prepare.
-Gather the Necessary Resources.
-Examine and Explore each Site.
-Start with a Positive Attitude.
-Believe in Succeess.
Have a Wonderful 2018-19 School Year!
