Dear colleagues,
Summer is on its way! If you believe the weather forecast for the end of this week. This week is our
week number eight of our successful distance learning. We will be hearing about the future regarding
school closure by Friday. The week ahead of us will be a normal distance learning week as we are not
conducting student-led conferences this school year. Thank you to all who shared their small success
stories from our distance learning journey in our last week’s faculty meeting. We have seen the flipgrid
taking over in many classes as a tool for increasing student interaction during asynchronous learning.

This week’s Wednesday meeting will be focusing on sharing learning from our distance learning
experiences and the weekend workshops on “reducing the distance in distance learning” as well as
reflecting on the small group live sessions and whole-group check-ins as well as the distance learning
schedule. Thank you for Kasumi and EAC for leading the Friday social connections and we are looking
forward to seeing many of you participating in the Quiz Night this Thursday.
