“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” -Nelson Mandela

Things to Be Aware of and Keep in Mind
- Sick Day - Moving forward all sick days will require a direct phone call to Glenda (781-686-6354). Those calls can be made the night before from 5:00 pm-9:00 pm or the morning of from 6:00 am-7:30 am. If you have a scheduled doctors appointment, you may communicate that to Liz and Glenda prior to your day out. Thank you for your cooperation to this matter.
- Please continue to post all absences on Aesop.
- Laptops - Please make sure that everyone is signing in and out laptops using the log posted on top of that laptop. This should be done during the 8:00-8:15 window of time that is available prior to students coming in, or at a time that has been prearrange with the hosting teacher. Laptops should not be out of their cases without doing this protocol. This is extremely important when testing is happening, and now that testing will occur for more content areas in Grade 3.
- Additionally, please report your online assessments dates a week prior to delivery to Liz, Glenda, Nicole, and Rita so that those dates are posted on the update and shared with teachers. This will help support laptop management for your classes.
