The National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) is starting a new #prinleaderchat every Sunday at 9:00 pm EST. We will be starting this Sunday October 2. Our schedule is listed on this google spreadsheet https://goo.gl/SI9LVo.
Erik, Principal from Peoria, Az. Super excited for this chat tonight...we are awaiting our teachers to return from their walkout and resume school...soon I hope #PrinLeaderChat
A1: By encouraging our staff to finish strong. Teachers that model focus, perseverance, and dedication will encourage students to follow. We are all about making the days count rather than counting down the days! #prinleaderchat
A1: Seniors are not the only ones to have "Senioritis". Its important for us to lead by example, stick to routine, set reasonable & reachable goals, and make sure that our students still have supplies to learn with. #PrinLeaderChat
A1: Leading by example during the month of May is critical! We must encourage our staff to finish the year strong. Through this leadership, our students should see the importance of finishing the school year strong! #PrinLeaderChat
A1: I hope that our field trips, team activities, #FalconsCARE events, & #DiamondDash Festival to benefit our #MiniTHON & the @fourdiamonds are a good way to end our year on a high note! We are also trying to take advantage of the nice weather w/ recess at lunch. #PrinLeaderChat
A1: We need to continue modeling the learning process with them. Run small group meetings, book clubs, be a guest teacher in the classroom, be passionate, supportive, encouraging and present! Throw in some surprises too! #prinleaderchat
A2: Give them permission to have fun and make memories with their students. This is your last three weeks to leave a legacy with this group of kiddos, enjoy the time! #prinleaderchat
A2 - by being attentive to their needs, providing support, being encouraging, praising them and keeping a positive outlook as the leader! #PrinLeaderChat

A2: Draw on the relationships that have been built. Help prioritize why we teach. Don't plan to finish teaching too early. Communicate with parents. #PrinLeaderChat
A2: sometimes you have to change it up..problem based learning challenges, special weeks or days, keep it lively for all. Always reminder of engaged students stay the course and stay to ur expectations #prinleaderchat

A2 Encourage them to take care of themselves, eat well, exercise. It can be mentally and physically exhausting to close out the school year. #PrinLeaderChat
A2: Supporting them, celebrating their successes, and encouraging them so we all finish strong. Our staff just did an amazing job getting through April & state assessments. We just did our first #CCMSChat the other night--would love to continue that! #powerfulPD#PrinLeaderChat
I have the same convo with kids. How do you want to be remembered? Especially our fifth graders that want to think there is no accountability to this last bit of time! This convo has changed the actions of many! #prinleaderchat
A3: We have Teacher Appreciation Week and our building retirement celebrations coming up for our staff. We end our year with grade level awards ceremonies for our Ss--three great days of celebrations! #PrinLeaderChat
A4: Our leadership team will do a book study this summer then come together to plan our goals and vision for the year. We plan to get out into the neighborhoods to get kids excited about the new school year too! #prinleaderchat
A4: I plan a leadership team night at my house where I cook for them and we build a plan for the upcoming year, theme, changes, improvements, expectations... love this night last year, teachers r rested and some itching to get started again #prinleaderchat
A4: We complete Summer Institute during the first week of summer. Grade level teams are able to meet together to plan and we are also able to have some building and district-wide meetings during this time. #PrinLeaderChat
Hoping to use @wakelet, Twitter, and my blog to get people excited about the start of the school year--almost as a journal of summer events, school year preparations, cosmetic changes, etc. I would also like to get our folks engaged in good Twitter chats and PD. #PrinLeaderChat
A4: I first take some time to unplug and focus on me. I then attend the @TASSP1 Summer Workshop with my colleagues from across Texas to get energized for the upcoming school year. #PrinLeaderChat
Love this! Last year, I delivered back to school boxes to every staff member's home. This year, my team leaders will be delivering the boxes to their team mate's homes. We might do a dinner and box filling party the night before delivery! #prinleaderchat
