Pizza with the Principal
I had the pleasure of spending an advisory period with Mrs. Pavlik's class for a session of "Pizza with the Principal." Students were asked to respond in words and writing to two questions. I'm sharing some of their responses because we are in this work together and their feedback is for all of us.
What is something that's going well for you or what is working for you at Venture?
Student responses verbatim:
Having my teachers there for me if I need anything. I think their there for me because they want me to succeed.
I am comfortable in my body for the first time.
I know my teachers better because the class sizes are small.
My teachers like me (thank God)
My confidence is boosted and it feels great!
I have good grades.
The small classes and the more one on one we get with the teachers if we are struggling. Also, how the teachers don't overwhelm us in work. At my other school, teachers wouldn't care to help.
If you were principal for a day, what is one thing you would change at Venture?
I know we can't do anything now, but I would have lunch with everyone again.
Go back to Google Classroom
Have designated hang out spots in the halls so people can actually get to their classes.
I would make a "don't have to do anything day" where you just have to be respectful. You would still go to all your classes, but its just a whatever day in class.
Go back to Monday's off.
No school on Monday's instead of Wednesdays.
Please email me with a date and time if you want your students to have "Pizza with the Principal." They can be asked these same questions, or we can seek their feedback on another school issue.
