Hello Team,
I know you’re not counting, but we only have 5 more weeks including this week. It’s been an extraordinary year to say the least and I’m looking forward to lots of fun and celebration in the coming weeks!
A few notes to get you going:
1) A big congratulations to Sara who will be receiving an Excellence in Education Award this week for her extraordinary work in overhauling our learning support program and finding new and creative ways to support not just our students but the entire staff! An extremely well deserved honor!
2) Unfortunately Brad will be out at least until Wednesday. We’ve put in for a sub, but they are hard to come by these days! I’ll check in with you as things unfold.
3) Observations this week
Sara: Tuesday at 8:30am
Haley: Tuesday at 10:30am
Sadie: Tuesday at 12:15pm
Lauren: Friday at 8:00am (ish)
Brian: Tuesday (24th) at 8:30am
4) SIW this week is Teacher Prep–enjoy the time! Just in case you’re thinking about using the time to get some end of year things done, Grows and Glows are ready when you are: Grows and Glows
5) Invitations on Thursday, remember to sign up: Invitations
6) Kinder hosts CT this week! 2pm Friday
We’re adding a few more Community Times between now and the end of the year for classes who haven’t had a chance to invite parents to join.
June 3: Grade 2 will host at 8:15am (we have Camp Amity this day)
June 10: Grade 5 will host their very last Community Time and we’ll start at 8:15 as they have a big day of biking adventures that day.
7) Graduation update: We will host a community celebration of the graduates on Tuesday, June 14 in the morning (exact times coming soon). A few students will give speeches, we’ll have a slide show, and class gifts will be given to the graduates. We’ll be done some time before lunch.
Family graduation will be Wednesday at 5pm. Traditionally all staff are present for this special event. We should be done around 6:30pm.
8) Reminder: SIW next week will be our extended time together to talk and dream about next year.
