Back to School

Teachers reported yesterday. The day was mainly a review of our TCAP (state tests) scores and discussion of upcoming challenges. The nice upshot was, my team from last year (split up this year) was named team of the year for having high test scores, low office referrals and doing the job everybody is supposed to be doing. The 7th grade math teachers were recognized for having overall high scores, and my students had a 98% passing rate.

Today was registration. Bleh. 8am - 3pm, then back for 6pm - 8pm. I had three families show up, all at noon. Then one lady at 8:10pm (yes, after it was supposed to be finished). Some of my students pre-registered, so I have 11 of 24 with completed paperwork. Mind you, some of these people don't actually register or bring their kids to school until Labor Day, a month after school starts.

Just tired, but trying to stay optimistic.

Anyone for a chorus of Welcome Back?
