Enrichment Activities
As previously noted, Parent Council discussed adding some enrichment activities after school. They are looking to run 5 week sessions (1x / week) and they're looking for ideas and people to facilitate. (They would provide pay for this after school work). If anyone is interested in running a club or activity, please let me know.
Media Club and Unified Arts are planned to begin in the coming weeks.
PLC Information
We will utilize these slides for our October PLC to frame topics starting this Thursday. Please consider topics to be used for the choice weeks.
Mandatory Training
Please refer to your email from Maryann Foley on 9/1 regarding the mandatory training and directions for uploading docs to Aspen. These should be completed by the end of the month. If you have any concerns about the training items, please let me know and I'm happy to support.
