#vaespchat Hey y'all, Hope that everyone is doing well, sorry I'm late, I was working to send out a message to our parents checking for their preference on progressing to allow our kiddos coming back 4 days a week!

#VAESPChat A1: I think that in the past year, we have leaned very heavily on social media to carry a lot of messages for us. It has allowed us to reach out quickly and effectively to our communities. Remind and Facebook are the two mainstays that we utilize.

#VAESPChat A2: It is a challenge to accomplish this in a mass message, but being honest and vulnerable in letting them know that you are in the same boat as them--experiencing a lot of the same uncertainties that they are, builds a commonality and connection.

#VAESPChat A3: You can keep your community behind you by being honest and straightforward. If you dance around the answer too much, its going to bite you in the end. It may not always be what they want to hear, but you gave them the answer they needed in a timely manner.

#VAESPChat A4: This is where being annoyingly positive comes in handy. When in public eye, I attempt to bring the most attention to the brightest spot. It may not be very bright, but in every situation, there is a spot. Blast that with a spotlight and don't waver.

#vaespchat Mark French I appreciate you taking the time to get out of the kitchen and joining us in VA tonight!!

#VAESPChat A1: I am so nervously excited for my next steps. I am ready to start my doctorate and lead a school division one day.

There’s a reason why “Your favorite teacher” is a security question.

Ok wait NCAA you can provide instant replay for @NCAACWS but somehow couldn’t manage it for @NCAAsoftball ?? I am perplexed.

#vaespchat Southampton County District administrator Trying to keep a connection to my instructional side!! I don't remember the last time I sat down and watched the whole game! And it's time I bring some fun to my departments. Doesn't happen enough from the division level.

#vaespchat A2: Visiting schools is always the best part of my days. Seeing the kids and teachers, and reassuring that they are getting what they need from me.

#vaespchat A3: More recognitions and celebrations for the staffs in the departments I oversee. Doesn't take much to make people feel appreciated.
