Updates from the past week:
- This week I've had the time to sit in on the SEAD students classes and watch their brains in action! I'm inspired by what I have seen, and hope to see more and more dedication and commitment to academics throughout my time here. I am committed to supporting the students in every way, including academically, and hope to always be available to attend any class they may need support in.
On the horizon:
- Change to Weekly Wednesday meetings - students will first get lunch in the cafeteria and bring their lunch to our meeting space in the library, where we will have a brief 15 minute meeting to go over important details for the week.
- I will be hosting our first "College Knowledge Workshop" this coming Monday (10/6) after school from 2-3pm. These workshops will happen every Monday at this time and cover various topics important for college knowledge, such as SAT prep, college applications, the college search, and more! These workshops are a really valuable way to start to understand the college process, without it being overwhelming. All students are expected to attend.
- I am almost always available to stay after school with students for homework help and anything else they may need.
- This coming Wednesday, October 8, we will be making a trip to the Museum of Fine Arts which is free on Wednesday nights - a great opportunity to take advantage of all of the art and culture in the Boston area. Anyone who is interested in going will be required to stay after school for a 1 hour study hall in order to work on homework, and we will be leaving from Eastie at 3pm and back around 6 or 7pm.
- All of the information above is relevant for you to know, too!
- I will be sending home a Calendar of events and an explanation of each event that is planned. While it is mostly confirmed, please understand that details may change. I will alert you and your students as early as I can about any changes.
- I will be hosting a SEAD Family Dinner on Monday, November 3 from 6:30pm - 8pm in the EBHS Library. Dinner will be provided by SEAD! Please RSVP to me, Maggie, at 860-485-8358 or at Maggie.R.Finn.16@dartmouth.edu
SEAD shoutout:
SEAD shoutout this week goes to Jakara! Jakara brought her English grade up significantly and worked hard with me to hand in her science lab and math project on time and well-done. Great work, Jakara!
As always, please feel free to contact me at any time (students: for anything, parents: for anything about your students!)
My contact information is above, and was mailed home in a greeting letter to parents & guardians last week.
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
Maggie
