Week Ahead: Aug. 23-27

I’ve been so fortunate to pop into classes this week as well as meet with many of you.  My overwhelming thought: Our students are so lucky!  What an amazing group of educators we have in the middle school.  If you have 10 minutes, I recommend checking out another colleagues class.  Here is the master Zoom link list for easy reference.  It’s an easy way to see some excellence in practice 🙂

I will hold an optional Curriculum Night information session on Monday from 3:30-4:00.  The link is on the MS Faculty Google calendar.  You can also ask questions via email or ask for an meeting time to talk through it.

From Marketing: In order to be able to more efficiently tell your stories from virtual school, we’ve set up a new email address to collect them. Please send your screenshots, videos, stories, or other content to share@ssis.edu.vn. To save you time, you don’t need to write a lengthy description. Instead, we will reach out to you with questions when we decide to post. Please note that everything may not get shared, but we will do our best!
