End of Summer

Summer officially ends in September, but for many teachers it ends on their first contracted day. For me, that day is tomorrow. I'll be in my building today doing a small amount of prep, but I won't stay long. My other strategy is to get in early, as I did all of last year. We aren't contracted until 8am, but I would arrive at 7:15 because I'd leave early enough to beat traffic. I'll continue that this year, including the first few contracted days. There is something to be said for peace and quiet in the building!
