We need to remember that discipline is what we want kids to have, and it is our responsibility to help them get it. Being excessively punitive and holding grudges damages relationships and kill[s] a good school culture. P 78 Joe Clark #ifthedancefloorisemptychangethesong

Some kids ride to school on a Harley. Some kids ride to school on a scooter. Our job is to get all kids to the gas station, no matter what they ride. The “gas station” is college and career readiness. Joe Clark If The Dance Floor is Empty, Change the Song. p.175 #lead

#LikeNoOther pedal to the floor-don’t back off #BoomerSooner

When I was young, kids drove cars that looked like it could take you off the line, but failed. They were called "all show, no go". Some schools districts are like that. Look good in social media, but if you have a kid in that district, you know the truth "all show no go"

Lead with Passion. Live with Purpose. Love with Pride. It’s your choice how you want to live each day. Allow others to see the best version of you today and, in turn, you may just inspire them to bring their best today as well. #dailyinspirationforeducator #@casas_jimmy

Be unapologetically you, own your epic and chase greatness in everything you do because you matter.

Don’t fall into the trap of doing for everybody else. Serving is one thing. Enabling them is something else. You can’t be everything to everyone. Learn to say no or ask others what they are willing to invest to help make it happen. #dailyinspirationforeducators Jimmy Casas

If you want to attract more positivity and energy into your daily life, start by exuding more positivity and energy into your interactions with others. Great change begins with self-change. #dailyinspirationforeducators Jimmy Casas #itsagreatdaytobeahawk

Great day at our administrative retreat. Very excited about where our new journey will take us. #usd261derful #itsagreatdaytobeahawk

Creative ideas for in person open house requested. Middle school of 800 students. Any help appreciated. #backtoschool #relationshipsmatter #itsagreatdaytobeahawk

If your WHY doesn’t include loving what you do, then “why” do you continue to show up? So frustrating when people make posts implying they do not love what they get to do everyday. #knowyourwhy #followyourwhy #lovewhatyougettodo

A great day at HMS with our 6th graders and the 8th grade WEB Crew leaders. Looking forward to seeing the 7th and 8th grade students return tomorrow. Also great to see our Superintendent stop by today. #itsagreatdaytobeahawk #usd261derful #relationshipsmatter

Capture some hearts tomorrow, and everyday! #relationshipsmatter

How many get to do what they love to do everyday? We live in a “have to” world, but I “GET TO” do what I love every single day. Serve the children of USD 261. I love what I do. #relationshipsmatter #itsagreatdaytobeahawk #dowhatyoulivetodo
