As you will have seen in the school-wide email sent from the Head of School’s Office, we will not be able to have students on campus for our final week of school. We had been hopeful and excited at the possibility that we would see students one last time on campus this school year, but we will not be able to.
We will adjust the schedule slightly for some days to allow for more time in Advisory and we will recreate some fun for students on Thursday, since we won’t be able to do the fun class trips we usually do on that day.
Here is the schedule for the week:
Monday, June 8, Day 2 (same as we have been doing)
- 8:45 – 9:45 – Period 2
- 10:15 – 11:15 – Period 4
- 12:15 – 1:15 – Period 6
- 1:45 – 2:45 – Period 8
Tuesday, June 9, Day 1 (adjusted schedule)
- 8:45 – 9:30 – Period 1
- 10:00 – 10:45 – Period 3
- 11:00 – 11:30 – Advisory
- 12:30 – 1:15 – Period 5
- 1:45 – 2:30 – Period 7
Wednesday, June 10, Day 2 (adjusted schedule)
- 8:45 – 9:30 – Period 2
- 10:00 – 10:45 – Period 4
- 11:00 – 11:30 – Advisory
- 12:30 – 1:15 – Period 6
- 1:45 – 2:30 – Period 8
Thursday, June 11, RECHARGE DAY
Normally on the last full day of the year, we have a fun-filled day with the Grades 6 & 7s visiting water parks, bowling, and enjoying each other’s company, while the Grade 8s are in their Moving On Ceremony.
So this year, while we celebrate our Grade 8s in our Virtual Moving On Ceremony broadcast, we will unveil our RECHARGE program to the grade 6 & 7 students. On the day, students will be encouraged to check out the ideas, do some fun things for themselves, think about what they might want to try over the summer, and then we’ll check in with them at 12:00 Noon through Advisory. We know these kids have earned a fun day of choice after 15 weeks of Virtual School! (To learn more about the RECHARGE program, see the other post in these eNews.)
Of course, for our Grade 8s, we hope the family watch the ceremony together and then make it a special day for their new high schooler!
Friday, June 12
- 9:30 AM – One Last Advisory
- 10:00 – 11:00 – Our Final MS Assembly Online Broadcast
We will also be sharing this schedule with our students through the bulletin and in class.
It’s not the way we would have like to end the school year, but we will do our best to make it special and give our students some closure on the year.
