MCMS Tuesday Staff Update- August 22, 2023

Good Afternoon MCMS,

I hope your day is going well and you are staying as cool as possible!  After this week, we hope that the outside temperature will begin cooling down and we will start transitioning to fall.  Thank you for the adjustments we have made with the team meeting agenda.  Our goal is to streamline our meeting time in an effort to give you as much planning time as possible.  As we make changes, please give me feedback.  If you feel like you are missing information, confused on a topic/procedure, or just like the old format of team meetings, let me know.  Your time and growth as an educator is important to us.

The MCMS Staff Connection Blog is still up but there is an issue with @sdnc.org access.  I will be looking at moving to another platform or making access changes on the current blog to make it easier for everyone.  All of the information that is on the blog is in your email.  Refer to my emails until I am able to make the needed adjustments.  Thank you for letting me know of those issues and for your patience.

Please review the reminders and updates below.  Please let me know if you have any questions about anything in the email or need any type of assistance.
