PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE: Jan. 3, 2006

Character and New Year’s Resolutions
Our staff who attended the three day “Character Counts” training was excited about the curriculum and eager to implement it at Hall. They were reminded that we teach character and responsibility not by what we say, but by what we do, and the example that we set. Talking about responsibility and integrity will never have the same impact as modeling responsibility and integrity. In the spirit of Character Counts, I have taken the liberty of offering parents several New Year’s Resolutions. All you need to do is read this out loud to make them your own.

As a responsible parent at Hall Middle School, this year I resolve to set a good example for my children by:

  • always using the drop off circle to drop off my child before school, even when I don’t want them to be late and the bell is about to ring;
  • always using the drop off circle to pick up my child after school, even if it is faster to pick them up outside the gym;
  • always calling the absence line at 927-6956 by 8:30am the morning of my child’s absence so the school knows where they are.

These resolutions are very simple and much easier than going to the gym four times a week or cutting out French fries from your diet. Here’s to a great start to the new year!
