Week Beginning September 30, 2024


You would have left hungry if you stopped into Grade 8 Art today! Students created their own sandwich or ice cream sundae graphics to better understand the 4 criteria. The engagement and creativity were impressive to witness!


 ACTION ITEMS

  •  October Email to Advisory Families: We will chat about this more at the MS faculty meeting on Wednesday, but please ensure you carve out time at the end of the week to send a communication to your advisee's families. Nothing needs to be done prior to the faculty meeting. 
  • Sunshine Notes: If you haven't sent any in the past week, now is the time to do a few. Students will be reflecting on these as part of their Conference Prep, making it doubly important they have some to reflect on. A reminder: you should send at least one per student per class you teach each semester. 
  • Monday P6 during All School Chapel: Please look out for an email from Shelli. We have A LOT happening on Monday afternoon, and it will be an all-hands-on-deck type of situation.

FYI
  • Thrivability Survey: Thank you to all who helped get the survey done. We have every student completed and another case study and survey this week about friendships. 

  • 10th St Plastic Lunch Box: LS is concerned that some MS faculty are leaving our dirty plate on top of this. Please don't, and instead, place them in it! 
  • Endeavor Grants: If you are interested, please see the email from Sep 26 with more directions. It would be great to see some MS folks get this amazing opportunity! 
  • Printers: A reminder from Erik that on Monday, Sept 30th, 10:00 – 10:30 am, printing on any printer is temporarily unavailable.

     



TODDLE TIPS & TRICKS

Advisors: If you haven't yet had a chance to have your advisees go through their Notifications on Toddle and mark all as read, please make sure to do that this week. Further instructions are in Kelly's email from Thursday, 9/26. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please add them to the Toddle Questions Form.
