Shout out to Michelle Magness for thinking through every situation for summer school! The students did a great job the first 2 days because of her planning!
STAFF SURVEY
Thanks for completing the staff survey! This information will help us SO MUCH in finalizing plans and schedules for all. We'll follow up individually with those of you who expressed concerns to make sure we are all on the same page, your questions are answered, and that we...as always...stay connected.
FALL FAQ
To help organize and document the questions being asked and our answers to them, we have created the FAQ list shared here (and will be shared in the Monday Family Update). I'll keep adding to it, and I'd ask that you please take a look to make sure you are informed AND to point out questions/concerns you may have when you read them. It's a Google doc, so it's easily editable.
Shout out to Mary for her hard work with a particular student this school year! I've been with him for 2 days in summer school and am amazed at the growth he made over the course of this year!

THANK YOU to all staff who joined for the Board meeting, to each one of you who took a moment to send me a "pick me up" last week, and to each of you fielding questions from families who trust you to help them make their choice for the Fall. I appreciate you so very, very much and am so glad our families have YOU to reach out to. Please feel free to send them my way, too, and share their questions with me. See below for a link to an FAQ document that comes directly from the questions we've gotten this week.

LAPTOPS! :)
If you need your laptop for summer professional development/curriculum work, you can feel free to keep it.
ALSO---all certified staff will be getting new laptops for school use on or after August 10! We have leased new devices that are updated, easier to carry, and allow for needed software updates! YAY!
