Inspirational quote: "There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die."
What are you excited for this school year? I am excited to be in a classroom full of students ready to learn.
Covid- 19 Update from Brittany
We are continuing to refine our start up plans for the year and will be sharing more updates as we have them and as our situation evolves with COVID-19. Please expect a more full update for when we return the week of July 6.
The network team and leadership team is continuing to plan for all contingencies.There is a possibility of virtual option for those students who may require it. More information regarding this will be in future newsletters.
In addition, our operations team is working hard on building readiness and equipping buildings with health and safety items. These include hand sanitizer stations, equipping nursing stations, and distancing marking on floors.
We are finalizing our proposed health and safety guidelines to create the safest possible environment for both students and staff.
Please email me at bthompson@compassroeschools.org if you have any questions.

Donors Choose Project - Optional but highly encouraged
Here are some quick steps:
1) Go to this site: https://www.donorschoose.org/teachers
2) Use your personal email and select Compass Rose Academy with the Outer Circle address.
3) Begin writing up your project.
Our budget is very tight and we have minimal funds around the following items:
a. Classroom libraries – this would consist of a bank of independent reading books for students that they could read or check out in your classroom.
b. Professional Development – these would consist of, now mostly online, opportunities for you to engage in content relevant to you.
c. Field Trips – a typical bus for a day costs from $1,000 - $1,500. Buses will also have spaced out seating so that means we need twice as many buses per field trip now. These may be limited now, in our situation.
d. Other classroom supplies tied to projects or resources that you may want for your classroom.
4) Once you have set up your account and posted a need, please let both Brittany and Monica know that you set up an account.
