Good Evening,
Thank you for your patience today with this post. I have been attempting to make communication to you more efficient so I hope this blog works as I have envisioned! This is my first attempt at a blog of this nature--I promise I will eventually get the hang of it!
Each week I will send you an email with the link to this blog so you can receive the weekly MS newsletter, or "Missives" as they will be called. If anyone has a better idea of a name for this I would greatly appreciate it!
Many of the links are still under construction but I wanted to give you a preview of the type of information I am hoping to get out to you on a regular basis.
I have been away since last Tuesday at the NESA Fall Leadership Conference in Dubai. This is a conference for leaders within schools in our region to come together to collaborate, share, and stay updated with educational trends. It has been a valuable experience but I will admit I am anxious to get back to ACS and see the students in the hallways again. Unfortunately, I will not return until after school is out tomorrow.
I look forward to seeing all of you this week, however, for Parent/Teacher Conferences on Tuesday and Wednesday. ALL MS teachers will be in the gym beginning at 12:00 noon on Tuesday until 7:00 pm and then again on Wednesday morning from 7:40-12:00 noon to spend time with parents as you are able to come. Please drop by a teacher's table as you see them come available and plan for your conversations to be approximately 10 mins in length. This allows time for everyone to have an opportunity to speak with their child's teachers.
After the holiday, on Nov 6, we will be sending out Session #2 After School Activity information. Students and parents will have an opportunity to see the schedule and see a description of each activity before signing up. Signing up will be a new process for the MS students as we attempt to establish an organized system to monitor attendance at activities more efficiently.
I hope your week has started off positively and I will see you upon my return.
Enjoy your evening,
Rhonda Isley
MS Principal
