Thank you and congratulations on surviving the PTC and reports week! A reminder of what we discussed during last Tuesday's meeting, we are all tired at this point of the year; make things as easy for yourself and the students as you can. For the remainder of the year it is recommended that you 'under plan' and not focus on too many assessments. Leave time at the end of the semester to finalize all grades and follow up with students and families.
We will give more fleshed-out guidance to the end of the year soon. check this space.
Link To Secondary Meeting Minutes
Note item 7. "Term 4. It is in your own best interest to meet curricular needs appropriately, but understanding that Everyone is Burned Out, students, parents, teachers, “Be cognizant of that, it is not the term you ramp it up, it is the term to ramp it down. We are exhausted and we want it as easy for you as possible for the rest of the year. " (Dr. Lori)

Shout out!
A big shout out to ALL Teachers for getting PTC done successfully under less than ideal circumstances!
Last week we had a dozen grade 11 and 12 students taking part in an international Model United Nations in Australia (Remotely of course). A shout out to those students and Lorraine for keeping this going even during this very unusual year!
Weekly Family update:
We are also trying to keep families and students involved with the 'Weekly Family Update'. We are stressing the importance of students communicating with teachers and using office hours, and of parents seeing NEO and grades on NEO on a regular basis.
