5:01 a.m. - Yesterday's Veterans' Day event went well. We loaded up over 100 K,1,2 students and the building staff on a couple of buses and traveled to the high school. The program was longer than I envisioned, but the students did well, and their song contribution was a hit. The rest of the day was fairly quiet, and then in the evening we had a BOE meeting. The recommendation for our new para was approved, which is good news. There were presentations by the Andalusia and Taylor Ridge building principals that included administrative goals and academic assessment data, and I suppose I'm going to be next. The problem is that my administrative goals are based on the data I reviewed on the 5 essentials survey that indicated ineffective leadership by the previous administrator. The other problem is that I really don't have a strong handle on our academic data yet, and I've focused efforts in other directions - building culture and student motivation for the assessments and their accomplishments. I'm going to have to figure something out that doesn't offend others and still addresses the questions the BOE members may have. That was a long day to start the week.
And on to today! We have building health/safety walkthrough; that should be fun. I know we are going to have some issues; I just hope it's a gentle experience. Tonight it's back on the junior high girls basketball trail. I still don't have my tires back yet, and now I really don't have time to get them.
As I've said before....just keep swimming.
