Advice For a New Head of School


Today we began our first day of school with an opening assembly in which I asked students to share some advice with me on how I can become a true Parkie, a Buffalonian, or a good head of school. This is what they told me:

  • Wear a lot of orange
  • Wear a lot of brown
  • Visit every classroom
  • Always wear a good outfit to school
  • Be myself
  • Respect the kids
  • The tables in the first grade room have tops that lift up, so be careful sitting down in those seats
  • Follow the rules
  • Have good school spirit
  • I have to become a Bills or a Sabres fan
  • I have to do my homework
  • I should listen to the teachers
  • And keep the campus clean
  • Have a good sense of humor
  • Don't run in the halls
  • Try to be a good teacher
  • Learn to play an instrument
  • Be open to new ideas
  • Help someone when s/he needs help
  • Eat healthy
  • No fighting with others
  • Don't play basketball inside

It's going to be a great year!
