There are 10 dimensions of wellness, but we are focusing on 8.
- Physical
- Mental / Emotional
- Social
- Occupational
- Financial
- Environmental
- Intellectual
- Spiritual
In addition to the Wellness activities, the PE department has been focusing on physical movement during the month of September. I wanted to share these two things with everyone for two reasons, first considering taking 15/20 minutes of your prep to take a walk on the track to get some steps in and get some fresh air. The second reason is the Dimensions of Wellness can help all of us during these stressful days. For your own wellness, consider reviewing the slide show to familiarize yourself with the 8 dimensions.
Week of Respect (Blog Post)
Monday and Tuesday will be “wear blue day” both at school or at home. Blue is the National color for Bullying Prevention. Thursday and Friday will be “wear orange “ both at school and at home. Orange is the Waldwick color representing a bullying free environment. Jeans are allowed all week. Recent Blog Posts - WHS Principal's Blog (Intro to new staff)

SGO's - Timeline Doc
Wednesday, 10/7 Final Assessment due.
Assessing students is part of good teaching, just think of SGO's as another assessment. Don't over think it.
If you are on Twitter, you might have seen on Friday/Saturday a few of my tweets directed at the NJDOE regarding mandates. I am fighting for you and trying to make them understand it is not a normal year. I will keep the pressure on but until they change we need to do what we are required to do. Dianna and I are the same page with trying to help you make this as easy as possible.
How can the @NewJerseyDOE help #njed educators this year ... Let the Teacher's Teach!!! It's not a normal year and we can't treat it that way. Evaluations, SGO's PDP's, State Testing, etc all need to be looked at. Are they really necessary? @NJPSA
