__Congratulations to YOU__
- for ALL Staff

Just another reminder and a thank you to each of you for our awesome authorization visit. Truly, the visiting team could not say enough positive things about Newton, its program and especially its staff. Here's a copy of our notes. Enjoy!



__What Should I Do Next?__
- for ALL Staff

Hold on to that great IB enthusiasm that you have shown since school started! Continue to work on the craft of being an MYP professional. Challenge yourself to integrate the fundamental concepts, AoI and unit question into your classsroom. Continue to tweak what you do, share teaching ideas and post student work. You deserve the opportunity to depressurize a little, but don't forget we've just begun our journey. We'll add new pages to our "IB Book" as the year progresses.

__ Thursday In-Service Time __
- for Teachers

Please be sure to bring writing utensil and paper for our work together in the morning. You can give your IB binders and other materials a rest for the moring!
