Excused absences

Fellow staff members,

Good morning. As was announced last week, a new species of plant has been discovered in New York. I will be taking the students in my Biology classes to The New York Botanical Gardens on Monday for the special viewing. Please excuse the absence of the following four students from your classes tomorrow: Callie, Catseye, Klara, and Nick.


Crystal Amaquelin

Noriko

Has Noriko attended any of her classes today? She missed mine, but I have been wondering whether or not my lesson was the only one she missed today. I know that she is in the building and this was supposed to be my first lesson with her, so I am not sure why she did not come to my class this morning.

Hadn't had a chance to announce this yet...

... what with everything else that's been going on, but Crystal Amaquelin is going to be joining us as a staff member this fall. She's expressed an interest in powers training - which she's well-suited to do, given her own experience - and in flight training, as well. (I may have done a "Yes! *fist-pump*" or two at the latter, I will admit.)

She'll likely be back in Westchester this weekend. I've got some paperwork and the like to do, to get things set up for her, but I thought you should all know to expect a new but familiar face in the staff room.
