And so begins another year...

Gratitude 365  Day #224

I am so grateful for an easing into the new school year. Today, our first day back, was filled with required meetings. Our cook made breakfast and lunch for the staff of the district. (And when she puts out a meal for staff, it is presented beautifully with creative table decorations and great food choices.)

Tomorrow is a flex day, meaning that we can put in additional hours prior to school starting and take the day off. OR, we can put in the hours prior to school starting and still come in and work on the flex day. (That would be me. I still have quite a bit to do.)

Wednesday, we have our high school staff meeting in the morning, and Freshman and New Students First Program in the afternoon, which means we run the 7 hour schedule with each class lasting seven minutes. We have just enough time to meet them, give them a bit of information about class, learn a bit about them, and send them on their way.

Thursday, the students arrive. We run a shortened schedule (approximately 30 minutes with each class) with an early release at 1:00 PM.

Friday is our first full day.

As you can see, we get to dip our toes in before taking the plunge. It works for me!
