Week Beginning April 24, 2026

  

Thank you all for doing just this :-)

ACTION ITEMS

• Journey To-Do List: While most of us are gone on the Journey trips, Beau, Ruth, Andrea, Sophie, and Jessica will be here on campus. If there are things that these folks can do to help you, please let me know, and we can add to their to-do list. 

• Adult Spirit Day: Monday, April 20, is Jeans and Cardigan Day!

FYI

• Grade 6 Field Trip: Please see this sheet for information about the Grade 6 field trip, which will take place from 12:30 - 3:20 pm on Friday. Tracey, Linh, Will, and Victoria will be off-campus with Grade 6; we need to rework club coverage. The following are the coverage changes - if you do not see your name, assume you are covering the same club you normally do:
  
  
  Cantor - Robotics and Coding in Will’s lab
  Iwamoto - Sunshine Club in Cantor’s room
  Voskuhl - Math Counts in Phan’s room
  Parker - Knitting and Crochet in Dunbry’s room
  Satgunasingam - Jewelry Making in Kelly’s room

• Recording Studio: If your students need a quiet spot to record, please let them know that usage of the recording studio is off-limits unless it is arranged in advance through Annie Green. Shelli is happy to work with Annie if MS teachers would like the option for students, but individual MS students should not be asking for its immediate use. If you are an advisor, could you please also remind your advisees that if they need a space open, they should ask a middle school faculty member, not teachers from other divisions. 

• Slides: While the patio is open, Jake is still waiting to ensure the safety of the slides. These remain closed for now.
