School Song- Matilda
I sincerely hope you had a wonderful summer and I am excited to hear all about your adventures. This newsletter will highlight some work we have been doing and is loaded with helpful information so you will be ready to hit the ground with your feet running on August 26! Please take a few minutes to look it over.
Professional Development August 26
There are a lot of competing priorities this year so we won't be together for the full day as usual but I think every minute of the day will be crucial in getting you ready to start this exciting year. We do have one hour together to meet new staff and share a little food and answer a few questions. The complete schedule, along with some links we will use on that day is located below. Please feel free to check it out but don't worry about the links until we are actually together.
If you would like to share a snack, baked good, treat, please list it on the Google Doc (link included)
I am excited to see you all. We have had a few very late, last minute staff changes- I will update you on those as well.

Elementary SEL Block
New High School Schedule!
New Middle School Schedule!
New Elementary School Schedule!
Yikes!
But the great news is that this was all done in a herculean attempt to provide equity in access for our kids!
High School- Chris will have time on August 26 to review and unpack with you.
Middle School- All of the schedules are not done yet. Your VP's have been working all summer to get this right. I think it is going to mean smaller class sizes and more time meeting kids. You will have time to look at this on August 26 as well.
Elementary- Big changes that include a dedicated SEL Block and in some cases a brand new fifth special. I have created a sandbox of sorts on Canvas with resources you can go to depending on how your Principal decides to use the block. Click below to take a look BUT you will have lots of SEL training on August 26 including ZONE training in the morning and Quaver SEL in the afternoon!
