Make a goodImpression
Be everything you would expect and want from your child’s school
•Appearance•Web presence •Who is in charge of impressions?
Be punctual
Answer the phone, return the calls, start and end meetings on time.
When things go wrong
Opportunity for service recovery
Don’t take it personallyEven when it sounds like they are mad at you.
Have confidence in yourself.
Your team is better thanyou think.

Attitude STILL Matters
Every piece is important!
Living the vision is NOT a straight path.
• Budget cuts• Unfunded mandates (Class size, Digital literacy,
Computerized testing, New standards, School Reform) 23
… and one last thing …

Living the VISION is for their future, NOT our past.
