Early September Notes

Have a great week and a great year!  As always, let me know  how  I can help.

Wednesday morning in the HS:
HS folks, please take a look at how things are running on Wednesday and let me know of any issues you see that need adjusting. Thanks. 

Have you accepted your invitations to various teams in Google Drive?
Good Curriculum Map Example:
Please check out Fran Copp's new Creative Crafts map.  It's set up by month.  This format is bit different than a multi-column document that you might have seen or the learning targets docs that I started to make last year.   That's ok; it has essential info concerning the course in a format that works. Remember, I'm trying to get all curriculum documents into
staff share / curriculum. 



Modified AIS Rules
Please read the memo linked here.  FYI: For any state memos I receive, I put them in Staff Share / News / State Memos. 

Can Your Cayuga??
Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Sign up for "Can You Cayuga." It's a fun paddling event starting and ending from Stewart Park in Ithaca. I signed up myself. Let's see if we can get some Falcons over there! http://www.cayugalake.org/64.html

Community Garden Training Opportunity
The note below if from Ave Bauder.  See the links I've placed here for applications and info. 
Please pass this information along to anyone you think will be interested.  Seems relevant for school gardens, Farm to School, and community gardens.
