Dear Colleagues,
The weekend break provided a wonderful opportunity to rest and recover from the busy first four weeks of the school year. These weeks have been marked by the hectic process of launching the new school year, which included welcoming new teams, settling into new spaces, integrating new units and resources, and, most importantly, getting to know all our new students.
Despite this being a short week, it marks the commencement of an important phase. During this time, we'll continue collecting learning data and start making instructional decisions based on the interpretations of the data. Our goal is to create a holistic understanding of our learners, which we will then share with parents during the conferences in five weeks.
On Wednesday, we'll begin with an update on our emergency procedures from Jonathan Calvert in the main theater. Following that, we'll move to the Library to further clarify our expectations for parent communication through Toddle and to discuss writing the unit-related overview with our respective teams.
Let's make the most of this short week!
Warm regards, Erin, Trevor, and Heikki
