We are back and excited to begin the 2019 - 2020 school year. It was so nice to see all the smiling faces coming in the building Wednesday morning. Our Chief Academic Office for the district, Jim Detwiler, was here as students arrived at school and he commented to me on how impressed he was with the students - everyone was so happy to be back. And I know I was just as happy to see them!
As always, I was so proud to see how kind and excited the kids have been to their new classmates. One student made all her new girl classmates friendship bracelets and had them ready by the first day of school. Another student greeted me in the car drop off with stickers that he brought to give to a friend so that he could make his friend feel special. These acts of kindness along with so many other things they do each day are why Yealey is the best place to be!
Even with one day this week without phones and internet, we hit the ground running. Students have already started learning engagement strategies, setting up their Leadership Notebooks, and getting to know one another. We've even had geometry and number talks started in 1st grade!
As we begin year 3 of implementing The Leader in Me program, be on the watch for some fun and new ways we hope to help bring the 7 habits home to you. I think you will really enjoy some of the things we have planned. All the students are focused on reviewing these habits now as all classes are teaching the first 8 days for their grade level. Be sure to ask your child about the habits!
Please remember to be patient with transportation at this point. Our goal is to send buses off the lot by 3:45 but because of traffic and other issues at the middle/high schools, our buses have been late getting here. So, please just give us a little extra time to get them home. We will be in a routine soon and everything will be running smoothly - especially once all the construction projects are complete, lol 😄.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Get out and enjoy the sunshine!
