Monday Message
Thank you all for the patience and flexibility last week as DGS worked to fix the heat. And especialyl big shout out to those I had to move due to room temperature. Thankfully, the issue was resolved on Friday and rooms are back to normal temperature today. I anticipate that DGS will be coming back today or tomorrow to retrieve the heaters they left in classrooms.
As we gear up for Parent-Teacher Conference Day, ensure that you are pushing infomation out to families and that you are ready to have academic discussions that are reflective of the high expectations that we hold for all students. Also, as promised in last weeks memo, the mark entry window opened up early for all of you who wanted to get a head start!
Have a great week of teaching and learning,
Jackson
