Principals often joke that after March there is only one month of school left -- it's called Aprilmayjune.
This is such a busy time of the year because while there is still plenty to do for the current year, we are simulatiously working on the next school year.
Here's a few things currently on my "to do" list:
-Primary and Junior EQAO tests at the end of May for Grades 3 and 6-- there is quite a bit of organization and coordination of time and tasks to get ready
-board staffing processes -- this means a number of meetings
- class and grade organization for next year (once staffing is complete in mid May)
-timetabling for next school year (also starts mid May)
-Track and Field, School Council meetings, Jump Rope for Heart, 3-pitch tournament hosted at Eastdale, class trips, Gr. 6 JUMP, Gr. 6 graduation
-Mentoring workshops -- I will be a member of the board's administrator mentoring team
-Fun Fair!!
-Professional Learning Community meetings and School-in-the-Middle meetings
-as well as the usual "stuff" that piles on my desk and inbox every day.
I love being busy and I love the excitement of preparing for a new year.
But -- time flies in Aprilmayjune.
