Changes to the Week Ahead, Updates, & Reminders
- Advisory & Character Strong:
- Grade 7 & 8 should attempt to get through lesson 10 by winter break
- Grade 6 should attempt to get through lesson 12 by winter break
- Board Tour: Just an FYI that I will be touring 4 Board members on Friday, Dec 3 as part of them getting to know MS better. Over the course of the year, the same group of board members will visit MS to learn more about us. In a typical year, this will happen 4 times for 30 minutes each board meeting. While you don't need to do anything, I did want you all to be aware as we may step into classes.
- End of Semester Reports: Just an FYI that more information will be coming on these by the end of next week. If you are interested in joining the discussion on reviewing the goals used from last year, please attend the MS Leadership Team meeting that will replace the GLTM on Wednesday.
- Holiday Tea Update: Shelli and I are working on this and more information to come. Expect that the last day of school for students before winter break will be a day filled with fun. Please do not plan any assessments for that day and do not assume that you will have your regular class. We hope to update everyone at the MS Faculty meeting.
