Welcome to the second week of school! Thank you for a great opening week. I enjoyed all my visits to your classrooms and work locations. I credit this smooth opening to your diligence in teaching the students our Bolton expectations from day one. Keep it up! We can never stop modeling and holding ourselves and our students to the highest of expectations.
This week during the morning announcements we will add a daily quote about dreaming big. Listen for this week's quotes from Walt Disney, Harriet Tubman, Eleanor Roosevelt and others.

Even veteran teachers can benefit from a refresh or learning new approaches to keeping students on track. Check out these videos, and see if any of the techniques could apply to your teaching style and classroom!
