Dear colleagues,
Welcome back! The cooler days are here, and we can soon start enjoying the beautiful autumn tint of the leaves. We trust you are back with enthusiasm and energy and ready to take on another effective and rewarding seven weeks of collaboration with your colleagues and facilitation of student learning before the winter break. Please, make sure that your classroom website information about UoI, Literacy, Mathematics and specialists' foci is up-to-date to keep up the parent communication.
This week we have Tuesday morning faculty meeting, and on Wednesday during Professional Learning Time we have math and literacy committee and student of concern meetings. Let’s have a great week!
