Week Beginning January 15, 2024

 

Sophie is using being back in her lab to the fullest extent! The eyeball dissection was a hit and some sections even got to learn how to suture, thanks to a lesson from Sydney Farach's mum's help. What a great way to end the week!

ACTION ITEMS

  • Supplies: 

    Many of the requested classroom supplies for our new spaces have now come in – including magnets, whiteboard markers, and whiteboard erasers. If you asked Ruth for items for your classroom, please stop into the MS Office to pick up what you need.

  • New Phone Configuration: Please review the phone update information linked here so you understand the changes that have been made. The biggest change is that most phones are now ROOM-dependent rather than teacher-dependent – but other changes have been made as well. Please see Shelli or Ruth with questions.
  • Switching Rooms: If you are switching your normal meeting spots for classes, please be sure to email msattendance@aw.org  to let us know the dates will be switching and where you will be during your class periods. Emailing attendance will get the message to both Ruth (who needs it in case she needs to get in touch with you during class) and Shelli (who will add a reminder to the AM Slides for students).
  • Please add any of your thoughts or suggestions to the following docs for the new sections. The plan is to work with the Counselors and GLTL during Wednesday's Admin meeting to make the final decisions and then final review with you all at the faculty meeting directly after: 


FYI
  • Grade 6 teachers - we have still not heard anything from the family of Chris AlHassan, so we will be removing him from the class list for next semester. It is unclear how this will impact myAW. More to come. 
  • Habits Reflection: Once the habit scores are finalized Ruth will convert this into the grapohs for kids. Expect that this will take about a day. More to come.
