April 5 Update

Happy Friday!

Eid 2024:
Happy Eid to our friends who will be celebrating next week!  There is a little uncertainty on the exact day, but Eid will be celebrated between Tuesday and Thursday.  Please be mindful of this as you are planning activities and expectations - some of our scholars will be celebrating with their family.   

Update on Sections:
As you know, this year has looked differently with sections and staffing due to the boundary changes.  After today (Friday), we will have a solid idea of what our 4th to 5th graders are doing (they had to indicate this by today).   Next week, our admin team is meeting to finalize the sections.  After that, I will be able to share numbers with you.   Please know -we are working as quickly as we can.  More to come!  

Scholar Placement Process:
Can you believe we are already at this point - time to be making class lists!  Linked is our process for the scholar placement.  More information to come! 

Summer Maintenance Requests:
Believe it or not, it's time to start gathering requests for summer maintenance work.  This work includes any fixing, paint touch up's, or other general maintenance requests for your classroom/work area.  Please remember - this does not include requesting personalized things for your space (example - wanting your classroom a specific color of paint).  

If you have any requests, please complete the form by Friday, April 26.  I know this sounds early, but Wayne needs to start prioritizing and communicating on the requests.  

Closing Activity Ideas:
Deep learning requires a reflection and processing time - time to let the new learning and ideas connect to a student's mental framework.  And, in a fast-paced classroom, we often forget about this. Linked is a great article on 27 ways to end a learning activity - take a few minutes to read through.

Have an AMAZING weekend!
