News/Timelines/Due Dates
I know a lot of pressure comes with the CRCT and appreciate
all you have done to get the student’s ready.
I need you to be extra diligent in following all directions as we
implement the test over the next few days.
Make sure you are reading the latest emails form Chris and following the
guidelines precisely. We had too many mistakes last year and most were due to
lack of attention to detail. Some have
asked if CRCT days are jeans days and the answer is no, except of course on
Friday.
It’s hard to believe that a year ago the Boston Marathon
bombing occurred. Watching all the
coverage this weekend, the triumph of the human spirit was all I could think
about. No one really remembers the names
of the evil people that pulled this off, but they certainly remember all the
acts of heroism and kindness.
I hope you also saw the moving tribute Friday put together by
our news crew supporting our Korean community in the horrible ferry
accident. One of our visiting Korean
teachers was so thankful for that outpouring of support.
Check out the latest Insider from Fulton County. Our own Marisa Wesker is highlighted! Way to go!

Governance Council –
If you are interested in running for the governance council for next year, please
let me know. This is for a two year term
and is a great way to be involved in the decision making process of the
school. We meet once a month and there
is some committee work involved. For
further details, ask current members, Elizabeth Ferree, Fran Meredith, Deborah
White and Erin Hoerr.
Final Exams –
Content chairs should turn final exams in to their content administrator by May
6.
PRIDE –We will not meet this Friday, April 25th
due to CRCT Testing. PRIDE will return next week with Silent
Reading.
Looking ahead…….there are only 2 PRIDE sessions remaining
for this school year – May 2nd and May 9th. May 2nd
will be silent reading and May 9th will be a concluding lesson of
reflection and a survey. Think about ways you can celebrate this school
year with your PRIDE groups. Reflect back on the memories that have been
created during this year or even the past two or three years with your group.
Now is a great time to start cleaning out your PRIDE
materials. If you have been holding on to any PRIDE lesson materials that
need to be returned or could be used again in the future please return those to
Wendy Wilson or Kathy Nagle. If you have mosaic tiles from the lesson a
few weeks ago, please put those in the cardboard box in the front office
mailroom. Make sure ALL hula-hoops are returned to the PE staff
Where is Livingston?
Sherry Thomas says,
“It’s true…not being in place on day one has its
disadvantages but try coming in mid-year to a new position that is still
evolving. Top that off with landing in the midst of the very important
Seed fund project with the responsibility of a presentation to The Fulton
Foundation. That’s tough but Andrea Rioux has managed to overcome the newbie
obstacles and rise to the many challenges with confidence and expertise.
Her vision and contribution to the redesign of the Media Center has also been
invaluable. I’m constantly impressed with her depth of knowledge in the world
of technology and her problem solving, can do attitude. We are
fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and forward thinking individual join the
AMMS staff. So Livingston moves on but not far…I just hope he likes
purple!”
Happy Birthday
