Weekly Update: February 3 -7

I have been so impressed with the flexibility and support of students you have exhibited coming back from Tet break. A large amount of information and small and large changes have emerged to ensure the health and safety in our community. We continue to come together as a community and make adjustments where needed. Please continue to reach out to Tim or me if you have any questions or concerns along the way. We’ve got this.

Enjoy your weekend,

Jacob

February 12 Faculty Meeting– Each grade level team will meet on this date to discuss advisory plans through March 18 and students of concern. There will not be snacks on this day and we will not meet as a whole faculty beforehand due to our precautions with the Coronavirus. Please meet in your established team meeting areas at 3:15.

Updates from Catriona– It is critical that you carefully read each message that Catriona sends. This information is very important and potentially impacts teaching and learning and other key events that we participate in.

Attendance Taking– Taking accurate attendance is always important, but even more important in light of the health concerns in the community. Thank you for your support.
