The big day dawns Tuesday morning at 7:45 a.m. The first day of school! That means our work is done, to some degree. When I say that, I mean that all the big jobs for the summer are complete. The floors are cleaned and waxed, the carpets have been cleaned, the rooms cleaned, maintenance completed, painting done, machinery serviced and so on.
Our crew worked right up to the last second on Friday to complete everything and have the building ready to go Tuesday morning. I went around and made sure the HVAC system was back online, compressors for shop and science were running, timers were set and everything else that keeps the building running and comfortable for learning was on.
I must commend our crew for their extremely hard work. They accomplished an amazing amount of work in the short time we had during the summer. A huge "thank you" to our student helpers who we couldn't have done without. They saved us a lot of time and did a tremendous job helping us prepare the building for use.
Now that we are back to school, the normal jobs will fall back into place. Until next summer rolls around, we'll see you in our buildings somewhere!
P.S. Check out a few snippets of things that we did this summer in our custodial newsletter.
Educating custodians, school staff, students, parents and the public on the duties, responsibilities and needs of a school facility. Working to make the custodial department more understandable and hoping to engage the support and help of all who use the campus. Sharing information on several cleaning-related, health and custodial topics to enlighten readers and requesting input from all who peruse this blog.
