I do many things, from cleaning up spills in the hall, zipping up coats, teaching reading strategies, meeting with parents, connecting with community members, observing students in classes, writing funding grants, planning future school growth, and generally solving the problems that come up every day so that the school runs as smoothly as possible and learning happens! 7:15 Conference Call with other Principals from around the Province 8:00 Go over schedule with sub-casual Education Assistant 8:15 Greet parents, help Kindergartens with coats, files, etc 8:30 Problem solve with students regarding issue on bus 9:00 Prepare for teaching 9:15 Teaching 9:50 Consult with technology support team regarding our wifi 10:10 Conference with teacher about a student 10:30 Teaching 11:30 Staff Recognition (with School Trustee) for years of service 11:45 Returning/answering phone calls from parents 12:00 Problem solving wifi issue 12:15 Parent-teacher meeting 1:00 Lunch, check email 1:30 Phone calls with parents, meeting with parent 2:15 Conference with teacher about a student 2:30 Scheduling work (planning ahead) 3:00 Setting up computers in the lab 3:45 Report card writing 4:15 Meet with teacher about a student 4:30 Connect with custodian about the day, health concerns, and school schedule 4:45 Lesson planning 5:00 Solving a problem re school equipment 5:30 Time to head home!
