To Business: Project 180, Day 4

Rules on day four? Well, kinda. I don’t actually call them rules ’cause…well, they sound too “ruley.” Instead, I present my policies and procedures as “Roles, Routines, Rights, and Responsibilities.” The four R’s. And while they are important to our journey, they still take a backseat to the “R-est” of R’s: relationships. That’s how we began our journey last week. We started with the people. This week, we can begin with the policies.

Here are the documents that I will share with students and parents this week. We won’t cover them all in one day. We will do a little bit each day so the kids don’t have to take in or process too much at once. I also share them with you. And though I know my longtime readers know how I conduct business, I want others to know that we do more than sit in a circle sharing Smiles and Frowns in room 206. There’s a business end to things, too. But the business never overshadows the people. People matter most, and I hope one can see that in the way I conduct business.
