__Where we are Now... An Update__
- For Department Chairs and Other Interested People



__I'm Planning to Stop By__
- For ALL CERTIFIED STAFF Thanks to everyone who updated the information for Application B using the rosters that were posted on line. If you didn't get to it, not to worry. This week and early next week I will come by to visit every teacher in the building. I'll double check the background information, check to make sure that all of your IB units have been posted, and make sure that you know how to download your class roster to track CS participation by your home room. I'll also answer questions you have about the course description, horizontal/vertical plans, and anything else. This should take about five minutes or so.

If you'd like more time with me, please let me know and we can schedule a more extended chat.

__The Flags__
- For ALL STAFF I saw that the flags came up again at BLT. For your information, a key to the flags is posted on this Wiki page on the menu to the left. You have probably noticed that a numbe of the flags in the front hall are missing. Have no fear! I have them all. I recently purchased a grommet kit and when we have time, we'll re-hang the flags in a somewhat "sturdier" fashion.

__A Few Words of Encouragement__
- For ALL STAFF Keep doing what you are already doing! You're doing a wonderful job and the documents. And the discussions that you're having are exactly what MYP is all about. I truly believe that our application to become an MYP authorized school will be fully accepted and that we are well on our way toward solid prepartion for our future as an IB MYP school. You're awesome!
