My Office

Dear Teachers, 


My office...

Is not a place to fear.

Is not a place for punishment.

Is not a place to yell at children.

Is not a place for solitary confinement.

Is not a place to judge.

Is not a place to offer life sentences.

Is not a place for corporal punishment.

Is not a place to humiliate and belittle children.

My office...

Is a place of comfort.

Is a place for learning.

Is a place for caring.

Is a place for listening.

Is a place for laughing.

Is a place to rest, relax, regroup and refocus.

Is a place to talk.

Is a place for understanding and empathy.

Is a place for discipline with dignity.


Teachers, if you need a time out - please stop by my office for a minute...it really is a relaxing learning space.  

 However...as an assistant principal, I take my role of supporting children academically, socially, and emotionally seriously.  If you send a student to my office for a time-out, please understand and respect what will and will not take place when I am with children.   Yes, if warranted, there will be appropriate consequences given but I will never hurt or embarrass a child in the process. 

By the way, I am not in my office often but my office is always available :)
