May 21 - Thank you for your service

This group might have had the most fun....oops, I mean the most work, or maybe both?

Many thanks to Moira, NHS, Rebecca, Michele, Brian R and anyone else who helped coordinate the service day and afternoon activities. It is very difficult to plan this event and during a challenging time of year. Once again, our students, in partnership with adults, pulled off a great day of community work, sharing and play. We have an awesome school. Thanks!! Click here for additional and must reading from Moira.

Summer School Option:

It turns out there is a funding option that can be used to support a limited amount of summer student support work. This could look like individual or small group (2-4) student 'tutoring' to support students who did not meet basic proficiency in a course. We do not have the capacity to run a summer program, but we do the ability to pay licensed teachers on an hourly rate to work with some students. Some of you have expressed interest in this work. If you are still interested or newly interested, please let the guidance office know. We know there will be some students who can benefit from this opportunity. Thanks.

Prepping the school garden for your future lunches!

Culture Corner:
It's getting warm, restless, and exciting - for all of us.
Please remember and do your best to:
- Continue the important and powerful work you do in classes
- Monitor hallways during breaks
- Keeping an eye on your students whereabouts, especially when leaving your classroom (do not send students outside unsupervised)
- Report missing students and suspicious behavior
- Be consistent and your wonderful selves. Thank you!
