Week Ahead: Nov. 12-16

Huge congratulations to our victorious Dragons!  Taking silver and gold at MRISA is always sweet!  Huge props to Dawne Kaba, Ryan Butz, and Ryan Pool for taking such great care of student athletes.

For me, it’s been a great few days in the hotel.  I glance out at the city around me and am pretty sure I might get to see some of it at some point 🙂  I am looking forward to rejoining you all on Wednesday.  Until I return, Tim Chute continues to be admin in charge for MS.  As usual, please check in with Hang and Bonnie if you need anything.

Morning Announcements:  Students are still complaining to me that announcements are being read during 1st block.  This is impacting their ability to take part in activities, know what activities are happening, etc.  Please make sure that announcements are read during 1st block every day.

Tripod Surveys: It’s finally here!  A great opportunity to get feedback from your students.  Here are the relevant docs you need:

Contract Meeting:  There will be a contract meeting on Thursday at 7:15 or at 3:15 (2 times, you only need to come to one).  At this meeting, Catriona will share contract information for the 2019-20 school year.
