Hi Core class Families,
I just found out that I have to cancel tomorrow's field study to Reed College Cooley Art Gallery. There was a sudden and unexpected maintenance issue in the gallery that has caused them to close it to the public (including middle schoolers who are scheduled to visit on a field study) for the immediate future. The Reed College art education coordinator, Gregory MacNaughton only found this out late this afternoon. Despite his efforts this afternoon he was unable to schedule us in an alternate space at Reed and had to officially cancel our visit tonight.
This is probably going to be disappointing to students. This is always an engaging and exciting field study, plus students always love getting to eat at the cafeteria. I thought the more warning, the better. You can let them know that I will work to make tomorrow an engaging and worthwhile day of school despite this bummer of an email. You can also tell them that there is much in this life we can't control, but we can own our attitude (I'm sure they will loooove to hear that)!
It would be great if students came to school tomorrow with a lunch if possible and headphones if they have them for our work using Learning Ally to support our independent reading.
Thanks,
Michael
