Awesome staff!

I will admit some days I wonder if I will ever get all my work done.  Some days I wonder what I am doing. Some days I wonder what is coming next...
What makes my day awesome  are the staff members who are truly awesome.
Staff members who are flexible and will take on new tasks with a smile.
Staff members who jump in and help without being asked.
Staff members who show respect and give guidance.
Staff members who work past hours stated and don't even consider it a task.
Staff members who try to solve the problems first, seek resources, and then ask for assistance.
Staff members who help each other out all the time.
Staff members who love their job and show it  in so many ways.
And most of all...staff members who love children and put them first!

I can't give my staff members enough praise and thanks but I will try...

Site Visit... Site Visit...Site Visit...

Three weeks to the Site Visit.  Well stress is high and work not done but in progress.  This is my first Site Visit to prepare for.  So many things I have learned and so many things I would like to do differently or know more about.  Wish I had five years to prepare but you have to work with what you are given and do your best.  Perhaps the need for perfection should be a five year process and even then I think it is not possible.  A Site Visit is an opportunity for the school district to show off what they are doing and to learn what more they can do.  I understand that and promote that to staff.  It just seems like three days is not enough time to show and demonstrate to the state of Iowa what a fantastic school district I work with and what great teachers and students I am privileged to interact with everyday.  So back to preparation and trying to enjoy the process.
