Back to School!
Calendar for Work Week
Summer Camp 2017 - Thank you Nicole and Camp Leaders!
Welcome, and Welcome Back Faculty!
Our shared mission resumes in just over a week! I'm so excited for this year's team and the big rocks we are moving. We are stronger (and larger) than ever. You are all an absolutely incredible group of professionals with amazing talents and a critical role to play in advancing the mission of our school. I hope you are feeling energized and positive about jumping into our work. It is so needed, perhaps more than ever.
Day 1 - Please plan to attend our Monday morning (8/14, 8:30 in MS) whole faculty orientation WITH a quote in hand - yes, written down, please - that provides you with inspiration. It does not matter where you get it. It could be from an author, an innovator, a politician, a friend, a child. It need not be specific to education. It simply needs to inspire you.
Why is this your homework? Because the work of keeping the flame of inspiration alive is at the heart of what we do. To inspire children to meet their potential, we must fan the flames of our own inspiration within, the flame that drives us and brings us here, together, to make the world better. Let's treat each other to a little gift of inspiration by sharing our quotes on Day 1 of our school year. Please, keep your quote under 50 words. We will have many to share.
The schedule for our work week is posted on the Oak Farm Google Calendar. As always, it is a chock full week. Please check there for the list of trainings and meetings. Faculty with expired CPR/First Aid will attend the Tuesday training, and faculty who have not yet participated in 7 Habits will attend the Wednesday training. Primary faculty - take note, you will only offer ONE classroom orientation this year. Everyone, make sure to check out Nikole's Back to School Memo which lists all the dates and events to note:

At our Day 1 Orientation, we will warmly welcome our new faculty: Caleb, Jon, Jenn, Leigha, Abby M., Brittani, Zack, Lisa B., and Heather C. These people are amazing and we are lucky we snagged them. Make sure you get to know them!

I have sent this message to the personal emails of our new faculty since they are not yet logged into oakfarmschool.
See you all very soon! Enjoy these last few days of break, and shoot me an email if you need anything in the meantime. Cheers! - Megan
