Nov. 28th – Dec. 2nd
“The master schedule is to a school what grading policies are to teachers and
classrooms. It reveals the true beliefs, attitudes, values, and priorities of the school. The
school’s master schedule is like looking at an MRI of the inner workings of a school. It is
the window to the soul of the school”“The Master Schedule: A Culture Indicator,”
Before getting into this weeks message, we want to send a huge congratulations to the 5th grader students and everyone who worked with them to pull off what is undoubtedly the best 5th grade concert ever. The collaboration, work, flexibility and value that you all put into it paid off tenfold. Truly Amazing!
Back to our regularly scheduled message….
It’s hard to believe that we will be into Dec. this week. It feels like yesterday we were all meeting each other and reconnecting. We were asking directions to different parts of the school, and trying to figure out our own schedules. Time is flying, and as we prepare for the upcoming push to break we are also already thinking about next year.
All of our learning and work this year can be more successful if we create the right environment in which for it to flourish. The Master Schedule is one of the most critical frameworks we need to establish in order to be successful. Your feedback and thoughts are crucial to helping us propose a schedule that works for everyone. Please take just a few minutes to provide feedback on the schedule. The link is below. I will close the form on Wed, so we can begin to create the beginnings of our proposed schedule for next year.
Please use the following link to provide any feedback you would like to give on the master schedule.
