We will be utilizing Mr. Thompson’s feedback to help ensure the work we do on our curriculum and unit design helps us march toward full accreditation in the Fall of 2019. I’m writing this message from Bucharest, Romania where I’m attending an amazing PYP PE workshop with our ES PE staff. It has been a worthwhile learning event for us all. We are excited to return to work to share with our colleagues and the students on Tuesday. As always, my office is open. Please don’t hesitate to stop in if I can be of service.
