Week Beginning February 17, 2025

  

I hope your long weekend is filled with love and whatever else brings you joy! See you all on Tuesday. 

ACTION ITEMS

• Faculty Letters: Please return these to me by the end of the day on Thursday, Feb 20. If you are unsure about returning, please stop by and chat as soon as you can. 

• Review of the Case Studies: Moving forward, please review the case studies listed as an advisory activity early in the week. Starting this week, we will attempt to use time at the end of the MS Faculty meeting (4:15 - 4:30 pm) to review this material by grade-level advisory teams. 

• Toddle To Do List: Please do your best to complete this checklist if you did not complete all the parts during in-service.  

• Course Reflections: Please make a 15-minute meeting with me to review these if you have never received this feedback or if you would like to chat more about the results. I will reshare your individual sheets with your overview and raw data on Monday if you did not save the link from last semester. And again, well done, team! These results were very impressive!

FYI

• Slides From In-Service: No pressure to review these unless you want to review something covered.  

• Last Day: Wednesday is Kerrin's last day. I know we will all wish her well and a speedy recovery. Kerrin, you will be missed! 

• Grade 6 Sex Ed: An email will be going to all Grade 6 families next week about Sex Ed classes that start on March 5. Will and Lei' La' will run these two classes in Toolbox. 

• Yearbook Photos of the MS Clubs: I will be coming around on Friday to take photos of each club.
