SIL Teacher Recommendations
We would love to grow our Social Innovation Lab class for next year. If you know a student who you think would be great for this class, please email their names to Shenny Donnelly!
Students in Bathrooms - Need Your Help
Hopefully you read Auggie's message in our newsletter this week about vaping. He and Bobby have also been attending class meetings to talk with the students. We also need your help to address this concern.
Large groups of students are, at times, going to the restroom together during class. As we all know, there isn't a need for groups to go together, and nothing good tends to happen when they do. We are trying to combat this, but we ask that you only allow one student at a time to the restroom. If students also have their phones picked up during the entire 85 minutes of class, it helps eliminate students talking with each other and meeting in the bathrooms.
We appreciate your help!
