No more writing on post-its, journals or the back of the hand when calling parents. Create a Google form to input data and to track responses using the autogenerated spreadsheet. A little organization during such uncertain times is making me feel a bit like myself again♥️

Thanks Jarrett Lerner , great reminder of how our actions and words impact our students!

Trust is built on telling the truth, not telling people what they want to hear.

Let us pave the roads to a just and equitable world with love, trust, courage, and humility, knowing the little ones are studying us, are walking with us at our side.

Sending so much love to all of the school principals who are struggling to make an incredibly challenging situation work. We see you. We know you have not had a summer break. We know the weight of the world is on your shoulders. We love you. #OntEd
