As I write this up, I’ll admit, I’m not even sure where my office is on our line, because I’ve never called it. However, in trying to reach so many other Principals, I hear eight options before I can get to the Principal so it got me thinking. Let’s put ourselves upfront more. Let’s put ourselves out there and if people need to reach us, we need to be accessible. I reiterate it’s important that we have systems in place so that people can get to where they need to quickly, and it’s not always the Principal’s office. But as the school leader, I want people to know how to reach me. I want to be a voice for people and be accessible to them. We might disagree, they might be unhappy, or they may not be pleased with the outcome. Yet it is my hope they still value our communication and the interaction that we’ve had. So I challenge you to call up and listen to your own office line and see where you are on the list? Will you move it up? It’s totally up to you, but this is something I will look at from my own situation under my roof. #KeepRolling. #SurviveThrive |
