Weekly sit-downs to go over goals/progress

[MHDNURSE]

Seriously I love my school but I am NOT a teacher and these mandatory WEEKLY sit-downs with admin to discuss, goals, issues, progress, etc. and getting REALLY old!

I LOVE my immediate "supervisor". She is our DO and is great, supportive, etc. She is required by her manager to sit down weekly with me and our office manager so we can go over goals. It is hard enough coming up with annual goals, but weekly???? I have told her at every meeting that nothing has changed. I know she hates these too, but what a waste of time. I get needing to meet with teachers to discuss curriculum planning, etc., but honestly, I am just trying to keep our kids safe, healthy and alive. Isn't that enough? Anyone else have these needless "goal setting" meetings?

I have check-ins with my non-nurse boss every two weeks. Charters can be a different beast. PM me if you want .

Weekly is intense for anyone. I had weekly meetings with my old principal, but we never discussed goals or anything. It was who was coming into the office too much that last week, what kind of bugs I am seeing floating around and then she would update me on the students who had any life changes or big behavioral issues. Our meetings were 5-10 minutes tops.

Now I meet with my admin team monthly and I'm a lot happier for it.

I meet with my principal every two weeks, but it isn't a meeting like you describe. More of a what's been happening, any concerns, ect. type meeting. We talk immunizations and health screenings at the beginning of the year, budgets at the end. Never been asked to do goals or anything. That would stress me out!

I forgot you changed your name. I thought "Oh heck no! WHY do they have a pic of Hammy?" I'z about to take off my earrings.

But to stay on topic: No meetings. Ever. I just update them as things come along.

I appreciate your protectiveness of my defenseless hammy avatar!

My boss is housed in the same office I am. I fill her in on what I feel is necessary as needed. We will have a district nurse meetings on staff development days. She will keep the principal in the loop and I will talk to him as needed.

No meetings. I was on the SAP team but they decided they didn't need me there so I just hang out and do my thing. It's good and bad because we all work kind of parallel to each other and I thing some collaboration would be helpful.
