***For those interested in working with Lower School students, here is a collection of opportunities for you! These include joining third and fourth graders at recess (they always need a good referee), AE day passion class assistant, and more. This is a working document, and we will be adding more items as the needs arise. We are adding Kindergarten recess as well from 10:00-10:30 daily.
Our most immediate need is for AE Day on February 24 (9:30-11:00) and Grandparents Day on April 7 (9:00-11:00).
**Note: Only sign up for activities that fall during your drop periods or non-classroom times. For special events, you need to ask for permission from teachers if you will miss class.
Be sure to check back often! You can sign up for as many activities as you would like. Please reach out to Dean Fox (mfox@cannonschool.org) if you have any questions.
Room 606 (Academic Coaching) will be closed on Tuesday, January 24 during Office Hours for a counselor candidate student presentation. Please plan accordingly!
