Dear fellow Upper School Administrators,

I hope your summer has given you an opportunity to get away and enjoy life outside of school.  I am writing to ask you a small favor. I have asked our teachers in the Upper School to visit another school on our In-Service day, Friday, October 17th, and am hoping that if you are in session that day, you might host a few Shorecrest teachers.  They would spend a half day or full day going to a few classes and hopefully having some conversations with members of your department during free periods.  The goal is for each department member to come back with ideas and observations culled from the good work that is being done at your schools, that might in turn influence our curriculum and teaching here at Shorecrest. Hopefully these conversations would be beneficial to both parties.

Please let me know if you are in session on that day and if you are willing to have a couple of tag-a-longs for a day. We are happy to reciprocate, and welcome any teachers to visit us here at Shorecrest on another day.

All the best, and enjoy the rest of your summer!

Tom

Count All Saints Academy in.  We will definitely want to reciprocate.

Tom,

Saint Stephen's is not in session on October 17 so will not be able to have teachers visit that day.  If there are other days that you would like to send someone over, we would be delighted to host them.

Tom,

We have Homecoming Activities with Alumni and a parade on October 17.  However, we are open to visits at another time if it fits into your schedule.

At Admiral Farragut Academy we teach the lessons of life: to embrace opportunity, connect to a global community, and gain independence.

Admiral Farragut has an extensive Marine Science program that includes for-credit Scuba classes during the school day and a Sailing Qualified Boat Handler's license through our Naval Science program. Students become certified via in-classroom and in-water instruction (in our pool and on our waterfront in Boca Ciega Bay). No other school in Tampa Bay offers this kind of experience! Your adventure begins at Farragut.

Hi Tom,

You can count us in at CDS. By the way, are we meeting down in Naples this fall?

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

Feel free to consider us as a possibility. However, your teachers should be prepared for some chaos if they come to Tampa Prep that day. We have a half day of classes, ending at 11:50. It is a spirit week, so I don't know what you would see in terms of dress code. Our kids will likely be scattered, but if I have not scared you off, let me know. We are happy to host visitors any time we can make it work. Those types of professional development opportunities help both sides. Enjoy the last wisps of summer!

Best regards,
Carl

By the way, does anyone have a Physics/Math teacher, or a Spanish teacher that they were not able to employ, but would recommend?

Thanks,

Chris

Good morning Thomas.

 

Seacrest has a ½ day on the 17th but we would be open to visitors.  Our morning schedule begins at 9:05 and the dismissal is at 1 on that Friday.

Good evening, Tom. 

Unfortunately we have a half day scheduled on the 17th with the 9 & 10th graders siting for the ACT  ASPIRE exam. CSN would be happy to host your faculty on another date should you desire. 

Many thanks,

Thanks to everyone for letting me know.  For those of you who are open for business on that day (Oct. 17), we will get in touch about a possible visit.
Again, many thanks and we are more than happy to reciprocate some time.
Good luck to everyone as they start the year.  Looking forward to coming up for air after Labor Day!
Tom
