Weekly Post #36

Inspirational Quote:

“The only way that we can live is if we grow. The only way we can grow is if we change. The only way we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we are exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open.

Thank you, thank you to all the volunteers that helped us give out packets this week. We couldn't have done it without you!
  • Quick family check in and survey on packets: Please ask your families if they picked up the second packet. This can be a quick survey on Dojo or text.  Please let them know where they can locate the packets if they were not able to pick them up at Connery this week.  Then, complete the following survey about the number of students that received the packets.
  • Staff Appreciation Raffles - Check in daily to see if you are a winner!
  • Communication Logs - Here is a visual of the submission dates for logs: April 17, May 1st, May 15th, and May 29th.
    • Everyone should have at least 3 log submissions, with a 4th coming up.
      • I know that everyone is connecting with families, but please do not forget to upload your logs.
  • 2nd Request from Dr. Tutwiler - Below is the same link I sent in March.  These activities are not designed for virtual delivery per se, but can be reshaped for that platform.  I am hopeful that one lesson or some discussion/interaction on the topic can happen for K-5 classes by June 16th.   Census Lessons link: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/sis/2020census/2020-resources/k-12.Grades_9-12.html
