@jillswansoneds @jhesson83 Do I do that?! 🤣

@jhesson83 Why did I think of @HWhitakerLE 🤔

@wkfriedmeyer @T_Cain88 @TheTNHoller @BobCotterHHS This is not accurate. Drills are announced and are not a surprise in Sumner County.

🚨 INBOX — SUMNER COUNTY: we’re told principal @BobCotterHHS of Hendersonville High has scheduled a LOCKDOWN DRILL right at the time of the scheduled statewide student walkout MONDAY 😳 - outrageous. Email: bob.cotter@sumnerschools.org

@flyingmonkey13 Will you share what green trails is?

Today one of our kids thought the new kiln was a Time Machine. When I asked her where she would travel she said, “I’d go back to when my dad was a kid because he was picked on. I would want to protect him. He didn’t have a Green Trails like we do.” Proud of her. Proud of us.

Callidus House brought on the GLOW with our final full school dance @ellis_school

@PrincipalProj Being present. Greeting them each morning, learning their names at lunch, we use the House System so giving points for positive reinforcement, attending school activities and outside sports, when observing classrooms provide assistance and ask them questions. Just to name a few.

@HWhitakerLE Appreciate you sharing this perspective, Heather! What is one strategy you use to get to know your students?

❤️ What advice would you give a new leader about connecting with a student who looks upset?
