Welcome back to the new school year. For our beginning department meeting next week, on Tuesday from 1 to 3 pm, we will be meeting in departments by divisions. We hope that these smaller meetings give you time to talk about curriculum and planning for the school year ahead. I will be checking in with you all in the MS, IS and US during that time. As was said prior, Spanish teachers grades 6-11 will meet in the US Language office to discuss new text coordination. Chinese, French and Latin, please use the time in your divisions to co-plan with your colleagues, especially the new faculty.
