Founders Weekly
September 17th-21st
Shout out!
So many great things happened this week! I want to recognize a few:
- Strumolo and Baffoni for helping Fraternity Row get settled.
- Menard for juggling multiple tasks and still greeting everyone with a smile.
- Chef, Soares, and Mazza for beginning our faculty room makeover.
Meet the Teachers
Meet the teachers will be taking place on Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30pm
- NJHS and Craft Club have planned some special items for families including decorations, gifts, and a contest!
- Please review the detailed schedules here. Let me know ASAP if you have any ideas or concerns about the schedule and agenda.
Emergency Drills
Please review your exits, routes and meeting locations to ensure you are prepared for emergency drills. If you have any questions, ask me or a neighbor.
Prepare students for emergency drills in Block 1 Monday morning with the following:
- SOS: Silent, Order and Speed during all emergency drills
- We must WALK, not run in stairwells
- We will be exiting and entering the building with RISE and we must be extra aware of the young children
Study Block Expectations
It is vital that we have consistent expectations for study blocks to work, particularly since many study blocks are supervised by multiple teachers.
The expectations that were agreed upon in the summer were:
- Silent, independent work
- Chromebooks by teacher request only (projects)
- Soft music may be provided by teachers to whole class (no individual devices)
Some recommendations if you're struggling with your group:
- Explain the why and how of study block
- Try a strategy for settling the class post lunch
- Ask for support from a colleague, Ms. Mann or myself
I will support you by addressing study block expectations for the school at Town Meeting
