The SoRoCo Weekly Newsletter
December 11, 2016
Dear Team,
Thank you all for such an incredible first semester. We notice the effort each of you puts in day after day to support each of our students. We are a team where everybody cares about each student so much, and this semester at Soroco has been a refreshing experience.
As final exams approach, and students attempt to make up missing assignments, please keep in mind it is never too late to learn. We appreciate teachers who have already supported students by going out of their way to provide alternative assignments, which are just as rigorous than the original one the student missed. The way you divvy out points is up to you, but it is never too late to learn.
I’m sure I will see each of you before we have to say good-bye, but I’d like to use this as an opportunity to wish you a happy and peaceful holiday season, and see you all again in 2017!
Thank you all so much for everything you do.
