There is no school on Monday, Feb. 22, after the February break as that day has been dedicated to teacher planning and collaboration for the March 1st Expansion.
As a glimpse into our preparations, the following action items occurred or will occur as part of our preparation for the expansion:
- We combined Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and First Grade classrooms this past Monday.
- We will combine and move 1st Grade classrooms on Tuesday, February 23.
- Custodians and teachers received and set up over 50 new desks for our younger grades (weekend effort - thank you!).
- We made modifications to our schedules to accommodate the expansion of our upper grades (specials, lunch, recess).
- We will use part of the day on Feb. 22nd to review safety guidelines and answer questions for our educators.
- Classroom set-up for our upper grades will also occur on Monday, Feb. 22.
Thank you to all of our educators for their thoughtfulness and collaboration in absorbing these changes as this is a major pivot that impacts everyone. We are fortunate to have the support of our caregivers, district, and the benefit of a new building with a highly-rated ventilation system.
I hope you have a wonderful February vacation next week!
