Specials Schedules during Moving Up Day - Thursday June 8th

Homeroom Teachers
Music will be out of sorts with their schedule on this day. We may need teachers to keep music classes in their classrooms and possibly P.E. if it rains. We will get a more definitive schedule to you by Tuesday.  

Specials Teachers
If you have a role in MUD and need coverage, please let us know asap.


Our new OA IV - Avis Key
Introducing Avis Key, our new OA IV to take over for Marianne. Avis is currently an OA at Western Alb. H.S. and yes, she is somehow related to Mr. Key (I think they are still trying to figure that out). Avis is amazing and I will see if she can make it for our Faculty Celebration this Thursday. If you would  like to welcome her, you may email her at: akey@k12albemarle.org


Old Learning Resources
If you have old learning resources such as textbooks, or old Investigations kits, you may start leaving them outside of your classroom doors in the evenings. Hold on to Investigations card kits they can be used with new Investigations..


Power Teacher - Teacher Trainers Dates
All 3 of you have let me know they will be interested in this training. Now that the dates will be posted, I expect more of you will let me know. Here they are:

Mon July 24
Weds July 26
Fri Aug 4
Mon Aug 7

Once you are selected, DART will send out more info.


Investigations Update
Here is a link for your team to fill in Investigations materials needed for the upcoming year. We will need this by next Friday.


Included in the most recent Division Compass is an interest form for division summer work teams, including an Investigations work team. If interested, here you go: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScl4A27fGO-JWZ6DInW0hV6JCfPvAjwkwBL_EFWhqxHnYnZ2Q/viewform?c=0&w=1

The Math Vertical Team will meet this Thursday after our Faculty Celebration. We will share out planning outcomes as soon as we are done.

 
Library Checkout

Here is info that was sent to Team Leaders by Anne James earlier today.
This will be a check-off on the EOY sign-out sheets.



Bad and Good Tech News
Bad News - So I just received the final word today, that we will not be able to keep a “classroom” computer to run Pro Boards and such.

Good News - We are getting the news in enough time to start planning for it.
