- Grade of Concerns Official Notes: Please make sure you do this every Friday for any student who has an overall grade that is 72% or below. This should be done by the subject teacher, not an advisor.
- Subject Reports: A reminder that we will be writing subject narratives at the end of Quarter 1, not the end of the semester. This is a change to previous years and so the MS Leadership have been taking a careful look at the structure of the reports to ensure that they are purposeful and useful. An essential component of this will be setting specific goals for your students and you may wish to start thinking about this. Please take a look at the document linked and we will be meeting on Thursday, October 31 to review the specifics of this. The following dates may also be helpful.
- Subject Overview: 8am Friday, October 25, 2019
- Subject Narrative due: 8am Friday, November 8, 2019
- Reports posted: 3pm Friday, November 15, 2019
- NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 14!
- Professional Growth: Ruth has or is reaching out to all MS faculty to make appointments for the Professional Growth Goal Setting meeting, linking your PGD folder with it. Please complete the goal setting form electronically prior to our meeting and also bring a paper copy of it for us to reflect on. If you have any questions, please reach out.
- Gizmos: We are getting a free 75-day trial of Gizmos from Explore Learning. This online program has an archive of interactive math and science simulations aligned to a variety of topics and CC and NGSS standards. Will has been using this for a number of years at his former school in math and science grades 3-8, and he is keen to explore our possible interest here at AWS. If you are interested, please let me know so that we can include you in the training and initial trial.
- Meetings: I know we have a lot of meetings planned specifically for MS. Please look at this schedule so that you are aware of the dates. The MYP Self Study does have meetings that span both Thursdays and Mondays, so please take a careful look and Angelica will also send email reminders as necessary.
