TAs will be the main facilitators for this event. However, if teachers want to join this event as a station leader, you are very welcome! You can sign up or email me to discuss the right station for you. The last day for signing up is Thursday, January 21.

Thank you all TAs and teachers for your supporting this event. It will be a great experience for our students!
Please reply to Thao Tran if you need to clarify any information!

Student Support Services Presentation: Recently, the Student Support Team presented to our new faculty. They did an amazing job of clarifying their roles and systems. If you are interested and would like a refresher, you can find their presentation here.

Wednesday Meeting Widget: I have added a widget on the sidebar that will hopefully help everyone to organize for the monthly Wednesday meetings. I will set out the broad topics, but please check the blog for more detailed information. You will see some “TBD” and I will endeavor to fill these in as soon as decisions are made.

Health Screenings KG-G5: This is a heads up that these will be done the week of January 25 in the Flex Room. Please check the schedule here.
