Finally,

• From Deputy Superintendent Cortines
• I always begin to reminisce at this time of the
  year. I began my teaching career in September
  1956. Part of my success, I believe, was due to
  the support and attention that the principal and
  assistant principal gave me. Several times during
  the first week of school, the principal checked
  on me. Indeed, it was a frustrating first week
  because I had 44 children in my class. The
  principal, assistant principal, and central
  office supervisor, continued their visits and
  check-ins. This made me feel like I was not
  alone and there was always someone there to help
  me on the good and bad days.
