- Review Lake Forest draft agenda — Planning meeting with Christine + Josh is tomorrow at 3:15pm. Need to review Isabelle’s Google Doc today.
- Prep for Josh 1:1 (tomorrow) — Topics: Q1 logic model review, end-of-month prep, Lake Forest readiness, ISTE registration, tag analysis plan status.
- Tinkery Flash Lab prep — 5 days out. Review Gregory meeting notes, finalize session plan for 16 York Scholars. Decide on collaborative format for individual-project students.

- If time: Tag analysis plan, Flash Lab inventory doc, Isabelle DCI response, reschedule dentist.
