Week Beginning Oct 25, 2021

 

Happy (almost) Halloween! 
A reminder that coffee and delicious treats will be shared on Friday to help you navigate Conference Day!


Action Items

  • ATTENDANCE CHANGES: We are having issues with students NOT going to ED when they are meant to be and this is causing the ED staff a lot of issues. It would help them to know who SHOULD be present in ED. So, advisors, when you take attendance, please also ask if they will be in ED at any point after school. If they are, please select Present-After School Activity. Sorry for the added ask :-)

  • TODDLE TRIAL:  If you are interested in helping piloting Toddle, the potentially new grading, reporting, and unit planning platform, please email Clare ASAP. If you would like to chat more about this, please reach out to Bri or Clare. This will be approximately a 6-8 week pilot to better understand if it meets our needs. Your input and evaluation of this product will be essential. Thanks in advance. 
  • COMMUNITY PROJECT MENTOR: Please sign up for a group to support! Here is the list of students and projects. If you wanted to review the role of a mentor, take a look at this document. 
  • SUNSHINE TRACKER: As we mentioned at the MS Faculty Meeting this week, here is the Sunshine Tracker document to see who you have sent sunshine notes to so far this year. A reminder that it does not list students you have NOT sent them too. This data will always be one day behind. 
  • POCC: If you are interested in attending, please see the most recent Staffulty. 
  • Community Engagement Team: The Community Engagement Team (Alicia, Annie, Dimpy, Mike, and Dubois) have been tasked with cataloging and identifying the communities that work with Annie Wright. This information will be organized and then presented to the board and the Annie Wright community. Please be specific in the details about the organization and contact. Our goal is to keep these relationships with the community strong and consistent so that they may continue. Please submit one for each organization. Examples: Field trips, volunteers, venues, equipment purchase (local only), guest speaker, etc. (If you have more than one organization, please resubmit the form).
