A3 We need to improve this part of our vision. We hardly, if ever, have conflict with parents. We greet them at the start of the day and admin made 575 positive calls home. Our team members needed to do 5 per week, so now its time to have more parents visit our home #VAESPCHAT

Q3 Listen to your fully engaged families and put their feedback into action! Use surveys, conversations, email chats anything that informs you on how to continue to improve their investments in the school and achievement! #VAESPCHAT
Q3 Engaged parents don’t just wade in - they take the plunge, emotionally invested and confident their child is valued. As you prepare to dive deep into continuous improvement for the 2025-26 school year, how can these deep connections guide your planning? #vaespchat

A2 Hire people who like kids & in the interview THAT needs to shine. You can coach pedagogy NOT liking kids. Next, listening to @PrincipalKafele show w/@ToddWhitaker who has specific questions to ask when checking for a reference. Plz actually call prior boss #VAESPCHAT

A1 Our home has 4 programs to support our Jags & all require Tier 3 interventions. This yr, the required expectation(s) for all was writing exit tickets and breaking down a lesson by having stations. We will continue & fine tune these 2 practices. Growth was observed #VAESPCHAT

A2: Hiring is a 365 day a year job. We need to be proactive & we need to identify & build a school that attracts candidates to want to work with us! #vaespchat

“I don’t look at education as a line item in a budget. I look at it in terms of how it will affect families and students in the classroom,” said @RepJahanaHayes, 2016 Teacher of the Year, who talked about her thoughts on the precarious future of @usedgov. #PrincipalsAdvocate
