Huggins Highlights
All staff, don't forget that our April faculty meeting is this Wednesday! We will be looking at our final tenet from the Profile of a Leader--being a Forever Learner. Don't forget that you should have completed your personalized learning self evaluation (see the email from me sent last Thursday) before we arrive.
If you missed it, the summer learning playlist is now out for preview. Click here to check it out and come up with a plan for your summer learning!
Also, an end-of year save the date: our chromebook pickup day this year will be on Tuesday, May 28th (the Tuesday after Memorial Day) at 9:00a.m., so plan on your Bearcubs having their chromebooks until the last week of school. For those of you who are returning staff, the pickup will be a little different this year and we will have an altered bell schedule. More info later this year!
