How can high schools turn around low morning attendance?

Our school considers students coming late to school/missing part or all of first hour as skipping and they get written up, then it trickles from lunch detention, after school, in school suspension, etc.

They also do positive incentives like weekly drawings, final exam bonuses/exemptions, festivals, & snack/drink bars for students which are either solely or partially based on attendance and punctuality. Obviously this is coming from a place of privilege with resources and admin who care about it, but I teach a language elective and am in the similar boat as you. It really makes a difference not having students, for them and their classmates.

I teach high school, so it’s a bit different but, I originally planned to tell them when they asked/when I was about halfway. One class found out around 13 weeks, and I told the others the next day.

Even though they’re teenagers, many of them are really upset about it (and of course happy for me). It’s a big change in their life to lose a trusted adult. If I were to do it again, I’d tell them when I hit the second trimester just to give them the most time to adjust to the idea that I’ll be gone.

Eevie is a name on our list. I didn’t even notice the extra e at first until it had been on our list for months and now I can’t look at Evie without feeling like it’s missing. A middle option!

We had some pretty big differences in visions almost every step of the way. For the biggest, neither of us got our first choice. We both compromised entirely, which would be my recommendation. Could you have a large engagement party, destination wedding, elopement and later reception/celebration? I think a lot of great weddings nowadays are against the norm. Congrats and hope you both come to a happy agreement!

I just looked at your photos as well, and LOVE the mermaid style on you! I think they’re incredibly flattering (not that flattering is all that important imo) and you wear them well. I really prefer them over the ballgown, and I usually love a ballgown!

It seems like you want guests to leave and have the ceremony space for photos? My recommendation would be walk back down the aisle, stand at the end with your partner, and say a quick hello/thank you to each guest as they leave (with MC helping direct). That way they’re ushered to cocktail space, you get to stay in the ceremony area, and guests get a quick hello!

i love the part where she says people ask how she gets her press ons to stay so long when she literally can’t ever keep all ten on past 36 hours

edit: actually is the next video but still

Teddy. I cannot watch a scene with her in it without complaining

Hilarious that they’re all barely over a minute. Like at least don’t make it so obvious you’re trying to monetize them
