The start of our Super Units is a special moment when students and teachers move from the talking to the doing. There has been excitement all week about these launches. All the students have been eagerly anticipating these launches. Whether you launched last week or will launch this week or next, please know your hard work has not gone unnoticed.

This week brings us to a long short week. We have a week worth of work in three days and then a well deserved break. When we return we will have ASA’s starting up as well as many other things. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

We are losing quite a few balls during the recesses. We are working on a solution to this, but in the interim please remind students to return the balls when they are done or at the end of the recess. When they do this they are demonstrating Respect for all.

If you are absent from your duty (including those of you at home), it is your responsibility to ensure there is duty coverage for your assigned duty. If you cannot do this, please let Minh or me know

PURPLE MOMENTS: Please take a moment to read the “Purple moments” that were shared last week on the right side widget! Let’s continue to focus on, and celebrate, the good things.

When we do this we can share a joyful educator moment or share a shout out to a staff member who has brightened our day. You can find the form here!

Professional Development Opportunities: I have started a sidebar widget with links to amazing PD opportunities. If you know of others, please share with me, and I will continue to populate this.
