Week Beginning Jan 30, 2023


 Happy Lunar New Year, one and all! Again, a big thanks to Heidi and her crew for the fantastic decorations!


ACTION ITEMS

  • ADVISOR NARRATIVES: These are due Friday, Feb 3 by (4pm)  Please read down to the example on page 2 and onwards on MS Semester 1 Report Dates & Guidelines 22-23 and review the formatting reminders on page 6. Please compose your narratives in a Google Doc and submit them to your folder here. Add each student’s first and last name in bold above their narrative.
  • NWAIS: If you are pulled to chat with the visiting team and need coverage, please text or call Clare/Shelli. Please also make sure that you have the MS and All School meetings with them on your radar. Some of the MS Student Council will also meet with the team and this will mean they will miss Tuesday all of lunch, advisory, and part of P5. Thanks for your understanding.
