Summer Staff Notes
July 12, 2019
First Day of School - August 15th - See Bell Schedule!
IMPORTANT- Link Crews and their group of 9th graders will be using all classrooms from 9:30-11am. Teachers are asked to please 1- leave your rooms open and 2- do not stay in your rooms. Again, please plan on leaving your classrooms during this time, so that the Link Leaders and their small group of freshmen have time, space and comfort to work with each other and speak freely. We have found that this important step in mentoring and transition goes much better if the link leaders are the ones in charge of the room. They are also trained to return the room the way that they found it. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to address them with admin.
During this time, the IMC, library, staff lounge, and Craig's office will be available for you to use. :) (J/K Bocks)
The rest of the day will go as follows:
A Period 11:30-11:50 (20) (Non-9th Graders Only)
LUNCH 11:50-12:25
1st Period 12:30-12:50 (20)
2nd Period 12:55-1:17 (22)
3rd Period 1:22-1:44 (22)
4th Period 1:49-2:11 (22)
5th Period 2:16-2:38 (22)
6th Period 2:43-3:05 (22)
We hope that this adjustment will be a positive one! We will re-assess with your feedback after this day.
