Phase 4: Fun

Typically November and December

You likely have felt as if you’ve been running by the time you get to this point. Take a deep breath and recognize that the holiday breaks are almost here.  That fatigue is well-earned. You have accomplished so much in these first few months. Slow down a bit and enjoy the time with your staff and students along with the many end-of-first semester activities. These months should include lots of time observing instruction and learning in classrooms.

 

Schedule, Job Duties, and Expectations

  • Plan your T-TESS pre-observation meetings and observations. Spend time in classrooms.
  • If you haven’t started meeting one-on-one with your Assistant Principals on a regular basis, this would be a great time to begin this practice.
  • Start talking to your Area Superintendent about your own performance review and appraisal.
  • Do a mental health status check on your campus students and staff.
  • Take time for yourself and enjoy time with family and friends.

To Do’s in November and December

If You Are New to Round Rock ISD, Get to Know More About Your New Organization

  • If you haven’t done this already, in order to get to know the more about the global picture of what is happening within the District, attend or watch the Round Rock ISD Board Meetings.
