Week of February 1st
Welcome
Congratulations to our teachers who participated in Friday's Musicale - Michele, Helen, Kate, Alicia, Chrys-Ann, Janet and Dana!
Secret Valentine forms were just distributed. Please complete and return to Rachel by Wednesday if you are interested in participating. Thanks, Rachel!
Thanks for completing and submitting the Habitat for Humanity interest survey. To date, more than 20 staff members have expressed an interest in volunteering! It's not too late - please click here by Friday if you would like to join us.
Finally, don't forget that Monday is Root Beer Float Day for staff immediately following dismissal. Click here to participate. Thanks for coordinating, Claudia!
Have a wonderful week ahead!

Reminder: Enrichment Clusters
I love viewing the Google spreadsheet to see the creative classes which have been proposed by staff! Click here to sign up if you haven't already done so. Friendly reminder: the expectation is that every staff member lead a class or support someone who is leading.
Last week, an email was sent to staff containing dozens of enrichment class ideas offered at other schools. Thanks, Chelsea!
On a related note, I have reached out to my administrative colleagues to see if anyone is interested in teaching a class.
Finally, a parent communication will go out within the next 2 weeks.

Lesson Plans
Updated: SGOs
As of last week, administrators may now unlock SGO's. To make modifications, email the administrator who is responsible for reviewing your SGO. Once the change is made, reach back out to the same administrator.
If I am assigned to review your SGO: please email me even if you don't require a change. I will then advance your SGO in OnCourse from "initial implementation" to "final implementation."
Let me know if you have any questions!
