Week Beginning February 2, 2026

  


After today's show, I am now inclined to watch one of my favorite childhood movies. It's a time-travelling weekend ahead! Thank you to Richter for her efforts in coordinating the performance for us. Happy weekend, one and all. Stay healthy!


ACTION ITEMS

  •  Welcome to Alphonso Williams - subbing for David Parker
    • He has a slightly different schedule from David, but the classes remain the same; you can view it here.
    • Alphonso will support before-school activities in the MS Lounge. This is so he gets to know the students and our expectations. If you also supervise this location on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, please stay and help support him. 
    • I have emailed Parker's Advisory families. They are aware that we are pairing Parker and Price. Thank you, Kyle, for taking on this for the next few weeks. 
    • Alphonso will be at the GLTM for 7 and 8, and at the MS Faculty meetings as well. 
    • His email is Alphonso_Williams@aw.org 
  • Criterion Scores Due: Semester 1 best-fit scores are due in Toddle by EOD on Wednesday. Here are the End-of-Semester Slides to help with this process. If you need additional help, please reach out to Kelly. 
  • i-Ready Support: A big thanks to Gretchen and Katie representing the math team, and to Kyle, Lei' La', and Victoria as the LL team, for working with Andrea, Shelli, and me to process all the data and plan the support for our students. You can find all the data and the support plan on the i-Ready Support Jan 2025 sheet. Emails will be going to students and families today about this support. This support will start next week. Spanish support is on hold for one more week while Tracey and Dan complete testing and finalize their support plan. 

FYI
  • Nate F: He's our last kiddo needing to finish his Reading i-Ready (at 63%). He will do this during All School Chapel in the MS Office, then use OH as needed for the rest of the week. We are so close!
  • Learning Support Out: Andrea and Kerrin will be out on PD on February 17-18. Please note: no proctoring will be available on those two days.  
  • No Ticket to Thrive: As you might remember, Admissions cancelled Ticket To Thrive this year, but in its place, a reminder that we do have our MS Community Day on campus, Saturday, April 11. Please make sure this is on your calendars. Thank you!
