Your School's Main Office: Setting a Tone for the Entire School

Your School's Main Office: Setting a Tone for the Entire School - " In most school buildings, the main office serves as a hub around which all other activities revolve. It is often said with a smile that the office folks really “run the show.” And there is some truth to that: as the school’s chief public relations representatives, members of the office staff frequently know more about what’s going on in the building than anyone else. As the school’s public face, each day the front office staff greets dozens of parents, community members, and other visitors; communicates with most of the staff; and answers countless phone calls. For that reason, it is of utmost importance that the office atmosphere and layout set a welcoming tone and that the office hub is equipped with the tools and technology that make it an efficient business-like operation."
