A big thanks to Nurse Paula and Ruth this week for being on the ball with all the changes to our COVID protocols and our every changing flow charts! They had to think on their feet, adapt, communicate with parents, admin, students, and us all. Hopefully, things will be a little easier and more settled next week.
Action Items
- CRITERION SCORES: We have been hearing from folks unsure of what to do if a student is missing a summative, or how a Responsibility grade may impact a criterion grade. To help everyone and be on the same page, please attend the MS Faculty meeting on Thursday for 30 minutes. We hope to ensure we are all on the same page. Can't be there? Please let me know ASAP.
- STRENGTHS & GOALS: Please upload your advisee strengths and goal to this document before the end of the day on Monday, 24th.
- SUMMATIVE CALENDAR: Please add into these calendars any summatives you have coming up, this will help us track our student's progress and ensure no one is totally overwhelmed.
