As always, having a lot of interruptions the first few weeks makes it take a little longer to get in the swing of the year.

In general, as long as we know about events at least two to three weeks in advance, teachers appreciate it. In general, I feel we have followed that.

I've been struggling to find a rhythm with all the 4 day weeks at the beginning of the year for students. Planning out the semester and trying to meet my goals for classes is seeming daunting.

The balancing act is wild this year. And it's cold

I wonder the strategic plan for our focus on belongingness and where I can help
