Last week felt like the longest three days of school I could imagine. The children had such sad faces when they arrived on Wednesday, but the smiles were back by Thursday morning. Thank you to everyone who played a part in helping the children readjust to the routines of school. I also want to thank the many people who were displaced due to Milton and for everyone's flexibility as we navigate our way back to normal (whatever that may be). We hope to welcome our PK students back on Tuesday. There is a lot to put back together, but I believe we can do it!
Now I have an answer to the question that is on everyone's mind. When will Trimester 1 end? Originally scheduled to end on Nov. 5, it will now end on Nov. 12, one week later. Teachers, this means you have a solid three weeks for grades left and a couple of days if needed. Whew! I will adjust the rest on the calendar tomorrow - grades due, etc. Please remember the requirement of four summatives for each class. Given everything that has happened, it would be fair to only have three, but there MUST be three.
For upcoming events, Friday is Marvelous Mustang. Be sure parents have been emailed. Friday is also the Math PD with Savaas. Mary will send out more info on Tuesday about where to meet, what to bring, who will attend, and what everyone else is doing. The Tuesday faculty meeting will be a demonstration of a Socratic seminar and everyone should attend as this can be used in any class.
Have a wonderful week!
