Due to the decision of one of our most loyal, intelligent, kind, and effective staff member to move onto the next chapter of her journey, we were unable to publish this installment of 102 Review until now as we scramble to find her replacement. And it is with a full heart which we must announce the end of Ms. Mulé tenure at 102, and we wish her the best of everything.
Fortunately, we were able to quickly appoint a new Assistant Principal who will lead the exceptional middle school team beginning this week. Welcome to 102, Mrs. Weinstein!
For the 3 people who will read this before getting ready in the morning, here are some things you need to know:
- Light It Up Blue for Autism Monday:Ms. Arduini has teamed up with Ms. Marshall to organize 102’s Autism awareness initiative this year, and we ask all of 102 to wear blue Monday, April 3rd, in support.
- ELA Scorers to report directly to score site.The following teachers will be scoring this week from 4/3-4/6: Summo, Goldin, Gaffan, Chao, Arlequin, Gelormino, Jenal, and J. Arsenault.
- Monday Professional Learning:We will be pushing back the planned Focus Thinking Generator Workshop until 4/24/17. Instead, this will be time for staff to engage in self-directed professional learning
- Hallway Student Behaviors:As some students were still testing, many of the 5th grade students going to lunch were noisy, raucous, and disrespectful to their younger peers who are trying with all their might to focus on their written responses. It is understood that students need to exhale after the gruels of state testing; however, it is never tolerated for students to disregard the needs of others.
The same goes for morning line-up. After months of staying inside during winter, excessive student energy will be on full display this week and it is important that we are mindful in setting the right tone in the morning and maintaining it throughout the day.
- Teachers may apply to work summer school. Our host site this year will be 24Q058, and you should know that this year there will be more days with more hours.
- Spring Break is on the horizon. Let’s finish the next 5 days strong.
Thank you!
