Intention matters, and beginning a new school year is a great time to consider your intentions, whether as a student, a teacher, an administrator, or a parent. You are on an educational journey for the next nine months: what is your intention for it? What do you hope to get out of it?

When you enter into a journey with specific intentions, you can’t help but get more out of it. What are your intentions for this coming school year?
