If you have noticed students on their very best behavior this year, it’s all due to our very own Mrs. Myers. She is officially our first dean of students in the history of Interstate 35. Under the position of dean of students, Mrs. Myers now has the primary role of handling discipline, communicating our school’s policies and making sure that students meet expectations. Although the role of being Dean sounds a bit intimidating to most, she also handles “lighter” responsibilities. For instance, we now have a “Student of the Month” award that will be given away to one student per month who has displayed the best character.
Mrs. Myers, one of the high school’s science teachers, has prior experience in discipline and feels that she has always been consistent when enforcing rules, and she is much excited to be able to take on something new. Although she gets a brand new position at our school, she still gets the best of both worlds by teaching her Physics class.
When asked about the hardest part of her new position, Mrs. Myers replied, “Not being in the classroom with kids.”
So far, our Dean of Students already likes the fact that she can be more one on one with the students and get to know them better outside of the classroom. Compared to our discipline system from previous years, she feels that this system will allow issues to be handled more immediately, and also allow the principal to have more time doing his own primary roles.
