What a great first week! \u00a0In the last five years since I have been at Juniper, our first week has never gone so smooth. \u00a0Kudos to Sandra and Marlene for making the front office tick like a Swiss watch. \u00a0We have been able to get our students safely on busses and picked up by parents in record setting time.<\/p>\n
KG students are now being picked up on the ramp on the Lower Turf side of Building-E. \u00a0We are doing this to create a more secure and less chaotic pick up zone for our KG students. \u00a0The gates by the loading zone will remain locked during this time.<\/p>\n
I was able to get into most of your classes on Friday to get a feel for your students. \u00a0The one thing I noticed in all classrooms was a positive, trusting, and safe culture that you have created in the first few days. \u00a0Great job on that. \u00a0When kids feel safe to take intellectual risks, they will strive to learn more.<\/p>\n
Our rollercoaster student numbers is\u00a0finally settling down…whew! \u00a0At the moment, we are staying put, with no additional KG classes and no blends. \u00a0A few classes are bigger than we’d like, but I am working on support for\u00a0those teams<\/p>\n
