Week Beginning May 18, 2026

Gators Got Talent Teacher Edition: Everyone, please fill this in with your thoughts on your role. You do not have to be a swimmer; in fact, we will need folks to help in other ways, too. Here is the survey. 

 ACTION ITEMS

• Course Reflections: To make this easier for teachers this semester, each of you will receive your own personalized survey with all your classes listed (except 6th Toolbox, 7th Milk Boats, all free reads, and OH). I hope this makes it easier for you to distribute and walk your kids through. This link will be shared with you so you can share it directly with your classes.

• End-of-Year Special Schedules: Please review these tabs to check for your role in the special end-of-year events. For this coming week, especially Milk Boats and May Day.

• Semester 2 Units in Toddle: Following up from the MS Faculty Meeting and Kelly's reminder, please make sure the following are done by EOD on Wednesday: 
• Unit dates are correct
• Image attached
• Global Context and SOI are correct

• i-Ready Proctoring: Please check that you are not double-booked on the schedule.

• May Day Advisory Challenge: Take a look at the May Day Advisory Challenge and reach out to Shelli with any questions. We’ll let kids know what the challenge is during the MS Gathering. 

• Habits Reflection: A printout of your Advisee's final habit scores will be in the MS Office by the end of the day on Monday for you to collect. The reflection doc we use will be in Toddle, and a hard copy will also be available in MS Office. 

• Sunshine Notes: A reminder that you should complete at least one Sunshine Note per student you teach at the end of the year. These should be personal and specific. Here is the sheet to track who you have given them to - Sunshine Notes Tracker 2025-2026.

• 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

• Awards: Discussions will occur during GLTM and then with the MS Faculty. The final voting survey will be sent on Thursday, May 21, and will end the following day at 4pm.
