DOMAIN 2: HIXSON & EQUITY
The Compliments/Spread the Love Project
I came across an article about The Compliments/Spread the Love Project last year when I was an assistant principal. It is an authentic way to build relationships and create a positive and supportive learning environment. One of the themes that came up in our Hixson, Reimagined activity from Friday was the importance of positive relationships. In addition, some of our discipline data surrounding insubordination/disrespect/disruption shows that there is a need for this as well. Being intentional about building positive relationships will move us closer to equity because ALL students deserve to have positive relationships and a strong connection to their school.

What if EVERY Hixson student and staff member had the opportunity to be in the "hot seat" in the Spread the Love project, especially during such challenging times? How would this shift our mindsets and therefore the culture of our school?

Building Management Work Group - LAST CALL!
Do you think you would enjoy helping create the building map for next school year, which includes determining room assignments? If you are interested, please email Dr. Mayes. The Hixson admin team is trying to see if there is interest in participating in this work. If so, we will form a work group after course requests are due, and we will work on creating the building map together.
