__Our Consultant Visit__
- for ALL STAFF I know that many of you had an opportunity to meet and talk with our IB consultant, Mr. Bob Smith, last week. As you know, he was favorably impressed with Newton and has highly encouraged us to pursue the completion of Application B this June. This is a huge task and will require extra time and sacrifice from all of us. The prize...becoming an authorized IB MYP school!

__What Lies Ahead__
- for ALL TEACHERS



for MLT TEACHERS We will be scheduling a half-day release time to work on Vertical Articulation with Debbie. This will be either December 4 or 6. An exact schedule will be available on the next Wiki page.

for ALL STAFF If you want to learn more about the Learner Profile, the corner- stone of the IB program, I have placed some green copies in the workroom, next to the hanging files. Please feel free to pick this up and learn more. Our ultimate goal as an IB school is to become the Learner Profile.

__Unit 2 Due Today__
- for ALL TEACHERS



__From the CS Committee__
- for ALL STAFF Here's a great idea for us to publicize the causes that teachers care about. If there is an organization you work with or a cause you are passionate about, please forward those names to Juli Snaer for ab upcoming display. We'd loveto share the many ways that the Newton staff cares for others.
