Dear colleagues,
Welcome to the first full of school! Thank you all for making the start of the school year so smooth and easy for the students and each other. Congratulations to the new teachers for their flying start and professional setup of your classroom and presentation of yourself as educators to both students and teachers.

This week's highlights include Wednesday meeting and Thursday Elementary School Assembly.
On Wednesday, we will spend the session on looking at and how we might Extend Learning in the Elementary School every 9 days as well as planning the first one coming next Tuesday. Also, this is also the time to start thinking about the Back to School Night.

It would be great if you reminded the parents in your class about the early dismissal on Wednesday.

We are currently scheduling a number of meetings and ideally, we will move into the 9-day rotation with the meetings as well. Tuesday morning meetings (the first one next week) and Wednesday Collaborative Learning Time are off the nine-day rotation. The duty roster will resume next week.

Let's have a great week!
