With SIX days until we begin the new school year, it’s time to get organized! ✍️ Label backpacks, lunch bags, water bottles, and anything that may get left behind. Clear labels prevent confusion and help keep mornings running smoothly.

One of the best ways for principals to do what’s best for kids is to care well for the adults in the building.

Many schools rely on excerpts & short texts as a way to teach comprehension skills. Students may rarely or never read a whole book. Listen to @Doug_Lemov to find out why this is a big problem & what we can do about it! Improved behavior is just one of the benefits.
