Week Beginning February 5, 2024

 ACTION ITEMS

• Ticket to Thrive is tomorrow! Please review the email I sent on Sunday, Jan 28. The event is from 10:30 - 1:00 pm. See you all then :-)

• Committee Review regarding students from TtoT. This a reminder that any feedback you have on the kiddos will be essential for you to share through the Committee Review in myAW. There is a special option for Ticket to Thrive (see the email from Sahara on Thursday) and here is the step-by-step guide if you are unsure. Can't remember a student's name? No worries! Take a look at the photo sheet of everyone attending here.

• Narratives were due Friday, Feb 2 by 4:00 pm. If you need an extension of the weekend, please email Clare. 

FYI

• Visitors still coming! Sahara has done a great job of getting as many folks as possible to visit BEFORE TtoT, but there are still families who would like their students to shadow. This means that while this past week was quieter, next week will be busy again. 

• Advisory Challenges: In honor of Valentine's Day, we will have two challenges - one this week and one next week. Click this link for more info, and I'll review everything at our MS Gathering.

• Testing Accommodations: PLEASE help the learning support team by completing the Testing Accommodations form which is linked below in the useful links. Kerrin will then confirm with an email that the support is available at the day and time, and state who and the location. Thank you!
