Welcome!

Welcome to my blog. Please forgive typos, bad grammar, etc. This is very much a train of thought type of blog. Bits of it might prove useful to someone curious about the day to day activities of a school administrator. Other bits might only be of interest to my mom.

Please note, the "PrincipalCook" in the blog title was chosen before I was a vice principal--someday I'll be a principal, just not yet.

Happy reading. I'd love your comments...

It's coming together




The post-its from the timeline activity will remain up by popular demand. We will decide what to do with all of the comments soon. You are looking at the posts for the past few years in the timeline.

Above that is the bulletin board with staff pictures. It turned out well, I think...

Tomorrow is the first day of school--

I sent an email out to all staff with the "daily news" attached. The Daily News will give quick reminders for the day. Tomorrow's daily news is especially important because it contains the most important aspects of the first day: where kids should go when they arrive, where teachers should be, who is covering lunch and recess, how attendance is handled, how dismissal is handled, how after school care is handled. There is a special welcome and offer for help for the new teachers and some congratulations for the veterans.

With the help of a parent, I finished the staff bulletin board. There are lift up flaps under the pictures so parents, students and staff can test their knowledge of staff names...

Time for a good night's sleep.
