In
the very earliest Roman calendars there were no months
of January or February at all. The ancient Roman calendar
had only ten months and the new year started the year
on 1 March. To the Romans, ten was a very important number.
Even when January (or Januarius as the Romans called it)
was added, the New Year continued to start in March. It
remained so in England and her colonies until about 200
years ago.
Our
school developed a very successful communication system.
We are a school of K-4th grade with 112 employees. Each
grade chose 1 representative and 1 person for the certified
teachers (special ed, Librarian, music teacher,etc.) that
don't have homerooms. We have grade level meetings monthly
then go back and report to our grade level teachers and
staff. Some report back to their grade by copying their
notes and put a copy in everyone's mailbox. I like to
send emails to my group. Most teachers only have to report
to 6-8 teachers and a few assistants. Special meetings
are called as necessary. If the principal needs to pass
info to just 1 grade, he talks to that grade level rep
and the rep passes it on. This method has really worked
great for our school because we all get the same information.
