Friday Night Board Retreat

This past Friday our WCS Board held its annual retreat in The Glade from 5:30 - 9:00 p.m. (and thus ended a very full first week!).  For the first part of the meeting we took a cue from Patrick Lencioni and discussed his 6 Critical Questions:

1.  Why do we [the WCS Board] exist?

2.  How do we behave?

3.  What do we do?

4.  How will we succeed?

5.  What is most important, right now?

6.  Who must do what?

For the second half of the meeting, the Board reviewed a draft of my goals for the year as principal.  I'll publish those goals soon (the Board officially approves them at our next meeting), but one goal they've charged me with is that of communicating regularly with Woods families via a blog.  Once we decided on that goal, I immediately stood up in my chair and snapped the not-so-great quality photo you see above.  Blogging begins!

A note about our WCS Board meetings:
All of our meetings are open meetings, and you are encouraged to attend.  The meeting dates are posted here. We even count attendance at Board meetings as a form of service to the school -- so it's a way of fulfilling your family's 20 hours/year volunteer commitment to Woods.  Please join us if  you can!
