This last week of 2008 ended abruptly due to snow in our new winter wonderland of Seattle. Teachers and students will have to scramble on our return on the 5th of January to make up lost work and exams, and enter grades for the mid-quarter, while preparing for the end of first semester (!). The Counseling Department has been assisting the PTSA and the YMCA in the school’s annual holiday giving, but this too was cut short. So, the holidays will extend this year until January.
Also put on hold were ongoing work with peer mediation, classroom groups and presentations, one-on-one talks with students, academic and personal assistance with students and their parents, discussions about possible upcoming changes to our school via the School Board’s end-of-January vote on the Superintendent’s recommendations, and other details of our jobs. We are looking forward to picking up where we left off when we all return in 2009.
We wish you all a safe end to 2008 and a wonderful 2009!
