Not every child walks back into school after Christmas break feeling rested, celebrated, or safe.
For some kids, the holidays are loud.
Or lonely.
Or heavy.
Or something they’re just relieved is over.
So as they come through our doors this week, love on your kids a little extra. A smile. A gentle word. Sitting down at their level. Letting them talk—or just letting them be quiet.
You may be the first genuine affection they’ve felt in two weeks.
The first adult who sees them.
The first place that feels steady again.
School isn’t just academics.
Sometimes it’s refuge.
Sometimes it’s regulation.
Sometimes it’s love.
Lead with grace this week.

I’m grateful for an amazing week at Comal U 2025! It was a time of collaboration, digging into our standards, revisiting best practices, and learning alongside some truly inspiring educators. It’s a blessing to have had the opportunity to reflect, grow, and refine my practice!

Let the Grandparents Day celebration begin!!! There was so much joy in our grandparents’ faces as they shared yummy lunch and precious conversations. #todayincomal #growinggreatness
We had our first pep rally today, and it was amazing!! Several teachers created skits, cheers, and songs to introduce our positive Hawk Buck reward system. The students are excited and loved seeing their teachers perform. #growinggreatness #togetherwethrive #beyondblessed

As you prepare to start a new week, remember your WHY and fuel up with purpose!
We are beyond grateful for the time, love, and energy that our RSVP reading tutors devote to our students. It was extra special seeing a friend and former colleague from Humble ISD. #togetherwethrive #growinggreatness
Thank you to all of our RSVP reading tutors. Our students are fortunate to have you share your time and talents with them. The fabulous @ambertisdel was able to share several reading strategies with them to use with Comal ISD students. #todayincomal #togetherwethrive
Time goes by so quickly!! Addison’s Texas Tech journey is almost complete, and she will be joining Canyon High School for student teaching in 2024. I’m beyond excited for her !! I guess I may have to wear red instead of green occasionally. 💚❤️ #CLHS #CHS #growinggreatness
We had an amazing first day !!! It was such a blessing to see the smiles, to hear the giggles, and to see all of our Hawks helping each other throughout the day. We have missed them and are ecstatic to have them back. 💚 #togetherwethrive #growinggreatness

So many new teachers feeling a little anxious about the start of school—-this is helpful ❤️ #comalRA
No one’s a master teacher on their first day. Developing a steady, calm demeanor in a fast-moving classroom setting takes time and lots of practice (particularly when students know how to press your buttons).

Our mission was accomplished at our first Kindergarten Bootcamp. I enjoyed meeting our newest Hawks and their families. 💚 #thrive #growinggreatness
Kindergarten Bootcamp happened at MVES this morning!! Our little Hawks and their families learned so much about how Kinder works and fun things they can do at home to help with reading and math. #labeleverything #thrive @cisdnews @DrChapmanCISD @kathrynhindt @JenCavender1
