As we prepare for the first Snow
Day of the school year, I approach
tomorrow with anticipation, and at the same time hesitation. Yes, school
administrators and teachers alike look forward to and enjoy Snow
Days. My family (my wife and three sons) will be home enjoying the day
off from school. On the other hand I will drive into school and spend a quiet
day working in my office. Now, it’s not all that bad as I will be able to take
care of “spring cleaning” with the stacks of papers that need to filed,
planning for upcoming Professional Development activities, thinking about
Common Core, preparing for our School Improvement Plan writing day, and or finalizing
the details for our upcoming Parent Book Discussion focused on Linda Perlstein’s
Not Much Just Chillin’: the hidden lives of middle schoolers.
The downside is that we’ve now added one more day to the end
of the school year. Although for now that is far off into the distant future and
my school (and my personal) family is not thinking of that right now. They are
all pondering how they will spend the next 24 hours free from responsibility
with the opportunity to explore their recreational options.

Days”...
