Week Beginning June 1, 2026


Congrats to all Grade 8 students and to the CP team (Dimpy, Kelly, and Beau) for delivering a great set of presentations this week! 
  

ACTION ITEMS

  • Progress Reports in Toddle Open: You are welcome to start to input best-fit scores as of Tuesday, June 2.
  • i-Ready Testing: Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Those with separate testing will be emailed by Andrea and told of their location. Please review this document with details about all elements of group and separate testing. Schedules can be found on the June i-Ready tab in the MS Schedule sheet. This also includes some changes to duties during break times. 
  • Reimbursements: Jean loves a balanced budget, so if you have any receipts to submit, please do so this coming week. This is especially true of the Journeys or Common Ground groups.
  • Award Speeches: A reminder that for the Learner Profile, they should be very short and sweet! For the Grade 8 - no more than 3 minutes each (this includes pauses.....). Thank you. 
  • Faculty End of Year Checklist 2026: This is the to-do list to complete before you head out for the summer. Feel free to start the bits you can whenever you have time. It will appear in the Blog until the end of the year, and time will be put aside during in-service to complete this list, too.

FYI
  • GLTM canceled this week: Please see the note about the Grade 8 Advisors meeting on Tuesday, though. If you need coverage to attend, please reach out. 
  • Common Ground: The last meeting is on THURSDAY this week due to i-Ready. The AAIP group will be in the Great Hall and will extend their meeting into Advisory. Dimpy will be leading this. 
  • Gators Got Talent: Practice is now on Tuesday at 3:30 pm in the Kemper. This will be our one and only practice, so come one, come all!
  • Bessler Gym: Out of use Thursday, June 4, Monday, June 8, and Tuesday, June 9 - US exams. 
  • Departing Students: An email is set to go on Monday to all students who are not returning to AWS next year regarding getting their laptops reimaged. Their advisor has also been copied on this email. 
  • New Students: All new students enrolled in MS received a welcome email from the MS this morning. If you would like to review it, it is linked here. 


TODDLE TIPS & TRICKS

Progress Reports are open and ready for your scores! Please make sure everything except for CP is completed by EOD on Wednesday, June 10. Here are the slides from this week's faculty meeting if you'd like to review the expectations. For teacher name, let's stick to the teacher(s) who taught each specific section this semester. Reach out to Kelly if you've got questions or students you'd like to talk through.

Thank you for all your help in making CP Presentation Day a success! All CP materials will be ready for grading starting on Monday, June 1, via the CP Button at the top of your Toddle Homepage. A reminder that everything lives in the Process Journal this year, as well as the appendix at the very end of your group's presentation. Need materials digitally? Here are all the CP materials from the printed packet you received on Wednesday (organized in tabs).
