Weekly Top for 4-7-23

 Folks,

Meeting on Monday -

We will have our meeting on Monday for M-Step and PSAT.  You will have an opportunity to also view/work on the video that is required for M-Step.  It will begin at 3:00 PM.   If you miss the meeting for whatever reason, you need to see Robynne on Tuesday (11th).

Thanks for your Feedback -

As you know I like to get feedback/input in areas where I feel it is important to do so.  Sometimes in my job I just need to say this is the way it is, but often I can also seek your input.  The staff by the survey has decided to keep advisory/BEAR time during M-Step week by a 60% to 40% margin.  I feel that this will be okay as students will have that break in the day on testing days, it will still allow for intervention to still take place on those six days, and it honors the time put in by the committee that worked so hard last year on this schedule.  At the end of the day it is a win-win.  👍

PSAT On Wednesday (All read please) -

The following will happen next Wednesday, April 12th:

• 8th graders will be in the Blue Gym all morning testing
• Bells will be turned off---6th/7th Grade Teachers please set alarms on your phones/etc. for passing times.  Try your best to not dismiss too early.
• The doors leading back to the Blue Gym will be closed...please do not allow any 6th or 7th grader to go past these double doors.
• 8th grade lunch will be adjusted a bit and start and little later.

Thanks so much to our guidance team for all the tremendous amount of time and energy put into PSAT 2023!
