Week+13+(7.30-8.3)

Return to Weekly Journal Page
Chris Cobb, North Salem Elementary Principal and PLP team member, had a meeting this week. We worked on some details of the first day events. Specifically, we created a list of interview questions for each one of the principals and administrators who typically speak on our first day back. We decided to create a video of lighthearted interview questions instead of the usual speeches that they give. This interview video will play during the beginning of the day as teachers are arriving. We also determined the role each administrator will play in the first day events. Some will be directly involved with the stations, others will serve as motivators at water stations to encourage teachers to continue and keep their spirits up. Chris emailed the principals and administrators individually, indicating their question and their role as well as attaching a first day agenda and any station information necessary. I took notes of this meeting.

There were a lot of emails that my PLP group sent back and forth to discuss logistics of the first day events.

The T-shirts for the first day back were printed and sorted this week. We plan to meet to iron out any other details the week of the 13th. A letter that I drafted and Angie McWilliams altered and finalized for the eChalk presenters is below.
