This week, we want to recognize the incredible teamwork that made our MAP testing sessions run so smoothly. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported the process by proctoring, guiding students, and ensuring that each session ran with care and attention. Your calm presence and collaboration created the conditions our students needed to do their best.

A special shout-out to Vale, who took the lead in organizing every detail behind the scenes. From coordinating schedules and sessions to arranging proctors and making sure everything was aligned, she truly went the extra mile to ensure that the entire process ran smoothly. Vale, your leadership, dedication, and attention to detail made all the difference. Thank you for carrying so much of this work with such care.

We want to recognize Jeff and Henry, who were constantly moving behind the scenes, checking in, troubleshooting, and making sure everything was set for both students and teachers. Your readiness to jump in wherever needed made a huge difference and kept everything running seamlessly.

Finally a big thank you to Amir and Mau, who truly went out of their way to support everyone during testing. Your willingness to step in, assist colleagues, and ensure that no one felt alone in the process reflects the very best of what our Middle School team represents.

Moments like these remind us that the strength of our community lies not only in what we accomplish, but in how we show up for one another. Thank you all for the care, professionalism, and teamwork you bring every day.

Community Time (CT) Plans

Here is the link to this week’s Community Time (CT) Lesson Plan. 

If you have any questions or need support, don’t hesitate to reach out to Valen.

We are currently working on clear guidelines regarding discipline and the use of technology (devices) in the classroom.

Thank you Luisa and Ana for signing up! If anyone else wants to be a part of this (mostly) asynchronous work contact me. 

If you are interested in participating in a committee that will review this information and help develop guidelines to guide and regulate the use of technology in the classroom, please let us know. (This does not apply to cell phones, as there is already a clear policy in place.)
