Article of the Week
We'll stick with a short video theme in the blog posts. The video this week highlights a class that gets students to think about both sides of topics that can be very polarizing - working to develop empathy in our students. The lessons can be applied to classroom lessons, but also those very important Homeroom lessons as well.
Here is the LINK if the video above doesn't work.
Fire/Evacuation Drill Reflection
I believe the drill that was conducted on Thursday was successful. Thank you to all of you for taking the time to discuss the procedures we would use with students ahead of time, and guiding them to perform an orderly evacuation and return to class afterwards.
Community Facility Advisory Committee Update
The Committee met again this past Wednesday evening. The group heard presentations about the capacity of our buildings in relation to recommended capacities and about school funding. A big part of the evening was a tour of the 1-8 building, followed by feedback from the group about our current facility. As I gave a tour to the group highlighting our building from the Middle School perspective, I shared your feedback (from the 11/6) meeting to the group. As always, you can visit the "Facilities" tab on our website to review more detailed information about the presentations and committee thoughts.
Early Release next Wednesday (11/22)
All students will be dismissed at 1:15 next Wednesday (11/22). Please see the Early Release Schedule, and let me know if you notice any conflicts with your schedule that we'll need to work out.
A Community Conversation
