It's coming, whether we are ready or not! And it's going to be epic!!!
ACTION ITEMS
- HATCH Week Updates
- The groups are provisionally done and can be found here. We might need to make minor changes as we hear of potential issues. Please let Shelli, Kelly, or me know if you see any.
- We have many students who due to Athletics will miss our first session on Wednesday afternoon with our HATCH groups. If they need any information for Thursday, please send an email to those kids who miss Wednesday - we'll let them know to check their email Wednesday evening!

- Folks are NOT expected to continue with their subject collaboration meetings during HATCH Week.
- GLTMs are also canceled this coming week and during HATCH Week. Please reach out if you have student concerns.

TODDLE TIPS & TRICKS
If you've opened your gradebook today, you've likely noticed that it's gotten a bit of an upgrade. Toddle's new and improved gradebook launched this morning, and they've incorporated several of the feature requests that we have been asking for. This includes icons for the type of assignment, the ability to bulk grade, less clicking into new windows, and clearer visibility on whether or not feedback has been shared with students/families. Here is a quick video tutorial to show how to use these new features. If you have any questions, please reach out to K. Ward.
