Just like Mr. Smith took Washington by storm in that old Jimmy Stewart movie, Mr. Zupke spent yesterday at Oak Hills Elementary - while he was working at Wm. Byrne!
His first visit came when we were told that our Level 3 fourth and fifth students who are coming on Tuesdays and Thursdays would be housed in a first grade classroom. I raised my hand and said, "Excuse me, I'm speaking on behalf of my husband here. His concern would be how are fourth and fifth graders going to fit into first grade desks?" They got moved to the fifth grade wing.
His second visit came when someone asked why students were using parent phones for their class meetings rather than using the district provided iPads. I shared his answer. "The family is obviously traveling somewhere and that's the only way they can get internet access. It's happens to Sam a lot."
His final visit came when we were sent an e-mail regarding security. Some classrooms were being hacked by older students who were being inappropriate. Sure enough - "Sam had an older sibling come into a movie (yesterday) with foul language." Fortunately, the culprit was caught and consequenced.
And to think, he works at Oak Hills for free!
