]]> 2016-10-28 18:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kenneth_nance/lykl5lei1n9o/wish/133987828 Administration should clearly communicate the rules teachers are expected to enforce.  Are joggers allowed or not?  Teachers were told joggers were not OK at the start of the year, but then the subject just fell by the wayside without any official follow-up.  Or dress-up days: If students don't wear costumes, what is acceptable?  And how do we distinguish a costume from non-uniform clothes?  Things need to be fully thought through before they are presented school-wide. https://padlet.com/kenneth_nance/lykl5lei1n9o/wish/133997912 2016-10-28 19:39:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kenneth_nance/lykl5lei1n9o/wish/133997912
