Here are a few updates: Philippa Belsches, a parent of two of our younger bees, has taken  the challenge to lead these ambitious students. Keep an ear out if  she needs to reach out to any of us for support. She will monitor a  k12 email address for these students once it is set up. A student newspaper survey will go out all students within the next  two weeks. The objective will bee for students to select a name for  the paper.

Overdue Book Notices Hi Teachers! 1.      Overdue notices for students will be coming around today. Don’t forget to remind students to check in classroom collection bins, backpacks, and book boxes, as well as at home. 2.      Overdue notices for teachers and support staff will be in mailboxes. If you see an item named “Investigations in number, data, and space..” – don’t panic. This is your Investigations Math kit that is checked out to you. If that is the only thing you have checked out, we will not put a slip in your box. P.S. You don’t need to turn in any items you are still using! We just like to send out reminders periodically so you know what you do have, and can return what you are finished using.

Master Schedule and Peer Observation Two items we will continue the conversation about, is our Master Schedule and MI3 Vertical Team Members peer observation planning. Bee on the lookout for more information and let the Admin Team know if you have ideas or want to join the fun.
