Dear colleagues,
Welcome back from the wonderful and timely long weekend. The short week will include MAPs testing for grades
3-5, important child protection, and first aid training on Wednesday and of course the Extended Learning afternoon
already Tuesday afternoon. Thank you again for the suggestions and feedback upon the duties. We will explore
and hopefully improve the time on duty and make the supervision purposeful and effective.
