- What expectations, routines, behaviors, and environment will you prioritize in order for all students to be responsible for the thinking in the classroom?
- What does the culture of learning currently look like in your practice? Where are students engaged, where do they feel a sense of belonging? How do you know?

Back to School Night
Back to School Night is one of the first formal opportunities to welcome and introduce families to the school community and environment and to begin to develop connections with and across families. Introduce the big goals and what to expect for their child in preschool and invite families to share their hopes and dreams. Use Back to School Night to communicate what matters - each other, our communities, our thinking, our individual and collective learning - and how families and school staff can partner to support our shared hopes and dreams.
