Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you are enjoying your 3-day weekend. It's only been 2 weeks, but it's clear the extra day was needed. I know that this year is testing all our limits, our creativity, and our perseverance in helping our students learn in unusual circumstances. Gina and I, parents, and Fr. Dermot all think you are doing an amazing job in this new world of education. If you missed this link in the Weekly Update, it's worth looking at. https://educationonair.withgoogle.com/events/anywhereschool2020 There are some great sessions and it also links you to all the Google resources you may need. Also, there is an opportunity to become an IXL expert with IXL live https://www.ixl.com/resources/ixl-live
This week will be the second round of i-Ready testing. Alton sent out the new schedule for everyone and hopefully, this should finalize testing. Alton will also be working with Melissa to get the FLP students tested. The results of testing will help us see where the gaps are and how best to use FLEX time with the students.
For me, it will be a week of meetings - Leader's meeting on Tuesday, IT meeting at the Church Thursday morning at 11am, and I will be at the Bethany Center on Friday. We will also have our first Mass on Wednesday with Middle School. All schedule adjustments, the Mass seating chart, and the priest schedule will be sent this weekend. I have created a schedule where Fr. Tim and Fr. Dermot will visit classes on Tuesday and Thursday. Each class will have a visit by each priest once a month. It is important that you welcome them when they come and let them know if your class has an event that day that cannot be rescheduled (i.e., in-class field trip, etc.). Even if there is a special event, you can invite them to join you.
Let me know if you need help with anything, have concerns or questions, or just need to sit on my couch for a bit and hug a pillow. My door is always open.
