Weekly Updates, Monday, 5 February 2024

Dear colleagues,

As the month of February is well underway and Setsubon is marking the start of spring, we have many reasons to feel good about the progression of the year. As you are busy collecting and interpreting the evidence of student progress for the conferences, please note that this Wednesday is reserved for you and your teams to spend time in preparing for the important milestone of the year.

This Tuesday, we will get together for the monthly morning briefing. On Wednesday, we have the library presentation space reserved for those teams who would like to convene there and where you can also find the refreshments.

Thursday brings us the sixth Extended Learning. Please update the Extended Learning Schedule document so that we can keep track of learning, focus, and spaces. Later on Friday night, the very popular Talent Show will be filling the theater with performers and cross community audience. What a wonderful way to finish the week!

Wishing you all a productive and exciting week!

Erin, Trevor, and Heikki
