Happy January! Thank you to everyone for their patience and hard work as we have navigated this the school year so far!  

Week of 1/18:

1. Please make sure to check TADS Educate to see the progress of your child as we move through the 2nd marking period. I am gradually posting grades from each week on TADS Educate for you to access. Please remember that we are not sending out physical Progress Reports, so TADS Educate should be the central location where you are checking grades. 

2. On Tuesday, 1/18, students will be taking the Language MAP testing. On Monday, 1/25, students will be taking the Math MAP testing.

4. "COVID Caveat": We have never done this before. This is a marking period when people have to figure out how to be students, teachers, parents, children, employees, employers, friends, colleagues, and just human beings in the midst of a global pandemic.
We are going to get some things wrong. As we see what the months ahead have in store for our city, country, and world, some of our expectations may change.
We will work together to get you what you need to learn in this class, while being aware of the immense uncertainty that surrounds all “planning” at this point.
I also hope we work together to build community—to serve as a space for exchanging information, asking important questions, changing our minds, and supporting and advocating for one another. 
I am committed to working with each of you, and all of you, to create the conditions in which you feel supported in doing the assignments.
As issues arise that impact your learning, please let me know, and let’s find solutions together.

As always, if you need to reach me with any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to email me at mpeters@sfxschool.net
