Week Ahead: May 25

Last week felt a bit like a tornado for me … thank you to all who reached out a hand to help pull me through!  I can imagine that many of you are feeling the same.  Let’s all keep reaching out to each other – many hands make light work.

End of the Year and Other Fun Things (Updated)
This it the time of year where there is so much on the calendar it’s easy to miss something.  I’m adding this section of upcoming events to assist us with that.  Of special note are things that cause the schedule to be disrupted or altered. There are questions in there that need to be decided.  If you have a particular opinion, email me or let your Team Leader know.  Also, please let me know if there is something missed or that needs clarification.  New or Updated Information is in Red:

• May 25 – Monday: Grade 7 drama rehearsal from 8-12:15 (miss blocks A and C)
• May 27 – Wednesday: 2-3? Senior Walk Through (won’t cause schedule change but will be a 10 min. disruption when they come through MS)

Grade and Comment Timeline (Repeat from Last Week)
Here is the timeline for grades and comments.  You should enter the comments in the S2 bucket (with the exception of Exploratory electives for Grade 6 who will use the Q4 bucket):

• May 27 – Wednesday, 3:00-4:30;  Work time on comments and grades (recommend getting peer review on this Wednesday)
• June 5 – Friday, 3:00; Most comments entered; admin will review over weekend to assist with catching any typos / gender errors.  I know some of you will be wanting to work through the weekend, so this is a ‘soft’ internal deadline.  I’ll review what’s there.
• June 8 – Monday, 3:00; Grades and Comments completely entered; verification reports to be printed
• June 9 – Tuesday, 3:00; Verification reports checked and returned
