With every new school year comes new colleagues, new parents, new students and new community members. It can be such a daunting task to make sure you have introduced yourself or at least letting everyone know who you are and your role for your campus.
This is an important task for myself as an Assistant Principal. As I begin to go into my third year as an Assistant Principal here in Arkansas, I want to find the right way to introduce myself to all of the new and important people I will be developing new relationships with. I've learned how important this is as an instructional leader. I will be joining a brand new school this year. That's right, that means I'm the new gal! I will be busy developing new relationships with staff members, meeting parents and getting to know students. It all makes me a bit anxious but I'm so ready for it.
To introduce myself to staff members, I decided to create a fun brochure about myself: All About Christina. I had lots of fun with this by creating my own Bitmoji and just inserting fun little known facts about myself. I tried to pick things to tell about myself that showcased my personal side. Staff members will have the opportunity to get to know me as their new assistant principal throughout the school year, so I felt it was important to show them my family, personal interests, hobbies, etc. My All About Christina brochures turned out really cute and were easy to make using my free educator account with Canva. If you've never used Canva it is AWESOME! I use it for just about everything that I need a professional look with images. Canva has the best templates, layouts and graphics. It is also very easy to use and upload your own personal images.
You could easily create your own brochure or newsletter to tell all about yourself to your staff, students, and/or parents. As I continue to enjoy summer, I'm now thinking about how I will introduce myself to students and parents. I want them to see how much fun I like to have and how much I enjoy learning. YouTube video? Postcards? Newsletter? Social Media Posts? Hhhmmmm.....Do you have any ideas? I'd love to hear from you.
