I hope everyone had a great weekend! Fall is here! Cool, crisp mornings are greeting students as they wait for the bus or arrive in car line each morning. It's great to feel the seasons change! Fall always a welcomed feel as we grow weary of the heat August brings us. Enjoy the change in the season!

Expectation Reminders:
3 simple expectations
- Love your kids
- Love Creekside
- Love what you do
If you self-reflect on these expectations, what are your answers?
What would your kids say?
What would your student's parents say? Co-workers?
I ask myself these questions everyday......sometimes we have to remind ourselves that we are blessed to be @ Creekside.
Take this blessing and use it to show everyone your heart each day @ Creekside.
Other expectations:
- Be prepared - make sure you are planning explicit, challenging and rigorous lessons for your kids.
- Communicate
- Call parents - just pick up the phone and call
- It's October and if you have not talked to your parents on the phone yet - CALL
- This is a very simple expectation
- Email info - don't email sticky situation stuff
- Call parents if you really need to tell them something
- Use Remind - if you are not using REMIND you are missing out on an easy reminder system for your parents
- Be professional
- remain professional at all times
- if you are not able to be professional with a parent or student let me or Mrs. Adams know and we will help you through a situation
- Supervise students
- Do not leave students unattended
- It is a very hard conversation to have when a parent asks "where was the teacher?"
- LOVE - just a reminder again... :)
- Love your kids
- Love Creekside
- Love what you do
