Hi everyone!
With the new student start date of August 17, we will be making updates to our calendars for training, PD and faculty meetings. This week we will be providing more detailed information to all of you on schedules and the roll-out of new information to assist you with your planning. Thank you all for your time and input to assist with our planning. For now, please note the faculty meeting dates and times below.
Casual Hires, Special Education/Inclusion Teachers and ELL teachers: we will be coordinating additional times to meet with your specific groups to go over specific guidance for your roles.
OSYP Information has been emailed and in last week’s Blog. Thank you to those who are turning them in electronically. Please note you must do the applicable acknowledgement forms AND the General Confidentiality Notice. VIMEO links were in the email sent to you on July 27 (From Melinda Pamatigan). Please continue to review this information and submit your forms no later than August 14.

ACTION TEACHERS: Per admin, please create a BASIC supply list for your 100% DL students to use at home. Admin says it needs to be basic supplies. Not things they won't be using. For example: pencil, highlighter, composition tablet, eraser, crayons, marker etc. Your list may be done as a GL if you have the same items, or it can be specific to each teacher. Please communicate this with your 100% DL families/put it on your website, or you can include it in your Virtual Meet and Greet information for families.
