5 Things I Can Do to Make my School a More Welcoming Place
- Greet my students at the door of my classroom. It is something I try to do, but I want to be more intentional of it.
- Say hello to people that I pass by on campus, and call them by name when possible.
- Write an encouraging note at least once each week to a newer staff member or someone I do not get to interact with often in person.
- Begin the process of scheduling and holding informational nights for the school community (parents and staff) to give tips on how to set up and utilize e-mail to communicate with others.
- Encourage staff participation in an upcoming 5K by talking with them, sending out e-mail reminders, and gently encouraging them to exercise.
