    Today is our big health video day. The PE teachers and counselors offered to handle it all without me (it's been a chaotic week in my office/building). One of my TD1 diabetics walks into my office in...
  13. 504 meeting

    ^^THIS^^ One of the options in the 504 process is to defer the decision until more information is gathered. But to be honest, if they are this needy towards the school, I can't even imagine how often...

    This crazy week before break has me lost on what day it is, but as I look down I see tiny Pink hearts on my love the earth scrubs! I'm counting
  23. School Shootings

    I think you guys are on two different pages of the same book. If we are ONLY talking about schools, I absolutely want an armed SRO. It may not be a preventive measure, but I feel like it ranks as...
  24. Rotations????

    Are they doing special lessons? This week is a crazy week for the students here. We have a leadership day tomorrow with shortened schedules and special afternoon classes being held in different...
