Daily Prep: Tuesday, June 16, 2026

AS:DE day, and the OKR work goes live. Your prework is in (6 questions submitted yesterday — 4 monthly, 2 quarterly), so today’s meeting is steps 2–5: filter into OKR categories → cross-ref Values → drop misaligned → sort into rituals. Two work meetings (AS:DE 11am, ISTE AI Pavilion Orientation 3:30pm). Three working days left before OOO Fri → the big rocks (Jessica’s 14 feasibility reviews, GPS retro, 6/16–30 timecard) still need to land Tue–Thu.


The recurring Zoom link on your calendar expired (Joe flagged it 11:01am). Josh posted a fresh one in the Josh/Joe/Reuben group DM:

https://stanford.zoom.us/j/92774565884?pwd=0zmJu270x6VDykf2mXCdqZM1nlmmkq.1

Use that one at 11am, not the calendar link.


Open Threads from Yesterday (Jun 15)

  • GPS retrospective — writing block still owed this week; Thursday’s 1:1 is the checkpoint and you’re out after.
  • ISTE presenter registration + participation agreement (Fizzy #124) — Jessica Garner replied “Re: Agreement” today (see email). Still open since May 28.
  • Fix the Jul 1 ISTE calendar event location (San Antonio/Central → Orlando).
  • Timecard 6/1–15 — was due yesterday. Confirm it’s filed; if not, do it first thing.

Today’s Calendar

11:00 AM PT — AS:DE Meeting ⭐

With: Josh Weiss, Joe Sherman Zoom: USE THE NEW LINK ABOVE (calendar link expired) Context: Post-retreat OKR doc work. Prework done — your 6 questions are in the doc. Today = steps 2–5: filter the full question bank into the three OKR categories (R&D, Capacity-building, Engagement), cross-ref against the four Values, drop anything misaligned, then sort survivors into monthly/quarterly rituals. The questions you pushed hardest (air-drop vs walk-beside; “anything outside our three categories”) map straight to gaps the team already named in the doc’s Notes. Prep: none — you’re ready. Prep doc: prep/2026-06-15-okr-doc-questions.md.

3:30 PM PT — ISTE AI Pavilion Orientation

Zoom: https://iste.zoom.us/j/91051929157 (6:30 PM ET) Context: Orientation for ISTELive Orlando AI Pavilion (your session is locked in). Ties to the still-open presenter registration + participation agreement — Jessica Garner’s “Re: Agreement” email today is part of this thread.

Personal (not work, off the work file): 8am dentist crown; 10:30am River prayer.

Calendar reconciliation: matches yesterday’s look-ahead exactly (AS:DE 11am + ISTE orientation 3:30pm). Only delta = the expired/replaced AS:DE Zoom link.


Email Action Items

(Inbox since yesterday. Newsletters/Stanford Report/TLDR/Hechinger/SSIR/AMD skipped.)

Needs Response

  • Micaela Bonilla — “SofIA tech w/Reuben” (today 11:18am) — new; likely scheduling the SofIA login-structure session. Pairs with her Jun 12 ask and the proposed Thu Jun 18, 2pm. Confirm or offer an alt (last day before OOO). (Fizzy #132)
  • Isabelle Hau — “Re: Flashlab Feedback” (today 3:45am; Josh also replied Jun 15 9pm) — thread is moving. Read Josh’s reply first, then add your take on the two fixes (topic-framing opener + groups of ~3 / same-PLC). (Fizzy #133)
  • Jessica Garner (ISTE) — “Re: Agreement” (today 5:50am) — ISTE participation agreement. Tied to presenter registration (Fizzy #124). Check what she needs and close it before OOO.

Needs Action

  • Expense $350.83 REJECTED by Dept/PTA Approver (Moraima Jun 15; Josh replied) — a reimbursement bounced. Read Josh’s note, fix/resubmit. Admin, but don’t let it rot over OOO.
  • Jessica Tsang — 14 feasibility reviews, due Jun 23 (she’s now OOO per auto-reply) — still your Tue–Thu task since you’re out Fri. (Fizzy #131)
  • Wen — MyBook still not saving kids’ input — save bug ongoing; needs a real fix. (e4d6e1e1)
  • Timecard 6/16–30 — file early (by Thu Jun 18); its Jun 30 deadline lands during OOO.

FYI

  • Jessica Tsang auto-reply confirms she’s out — reviews still due Jun 23, no extension implied.
  • Dan Schwartz (gsecommunity): STEP leadership transition — informational.

Slack Catch-Up

  • Group DM (Josh/Joe/Reuben) — Josh’s Jun 15 OKR prework post (👍 done). Today: Joe flagged the expired Zoom link → Josh posted the new link (above). Josh added a screenshot 11:13am.
  • You shipped two things this morning (posted to the group DM): a “Trust Fall” app (trust-fall…run.app) and a “Handbook Wordle” — a daily word game built on the Accelerator Studio codebook. → These are quick-builds; I’ll file projects/quick-builds/ pages for both after the meeting unless you’d rather I skip them.

Reminders / Cadence Nudges

  • Timecard: confirm 6/1–15 is filed (was due yesterday); file 6/16–30 early by Thu Jun 18.
  • Logic model quarterly review — June ends Q2; fold into Thursday’s 1:1.
  • Monthly Airtable + strategic horizon — end-of-June beats land during OOO → knock out early this week or punt deliberately.
  • OOO countdown: 3 working days (out Fri Jun 19 → ~Jul 6).
  • (Reminders app + Fizzy Maybe triage not pulled this run — time-boxed before the 11am. Flag if you want them.)

From Inbox Processing

INBOX had one new Spellar capture (Jun 15 12:45) — 100x AI Roadmap Update, which is personal/100x (off work tracking per standing rule). Notes preserved at meetings/spellar/2026-06-15-100x-ai-roadmap-update.md; action items there are personal (mountain-trip expenses, AI tool fall-cohort prep, Lloyd mentoring) — not routed to work files. INBOX cleared.


Today’s Priorities (Top 5)

  1. AS:DE 11am — OKR steps 2–5, new Zoom link. You’re prepped.
  2. ISTE: close the loop — reply Jessica Garner on the agreement (#124) + join the 3:30pm AI Pavilion orientation.
  3. Start Jessica Tsang’s 14 feasibility reviews (#131) — must clear before OOO Fri.
  4. Fix the rejected $350.83 expense (read Josh’s note) + file 6/16–30 timecard early.
  5. SofIA reply (confirm/move Thu 2pm, #132); reply Isabelle on Flash Lab (#133); Wen MyBook save bug (e4d6e1e1).

Full task queue: see action-items.md (not duplicated here)


Session Notes

(Added through the day.)

  • Shipped this morning: Trust Fall app + Handbook Wordle (codebook word game). Quick-build pages TODO.

Generated: 2026-06-16 ~10:40am. Two work meetings (AS:DE 11am w/ new Zoom link, ISTE orientation 3:30pm). OKR prework submitted; today is the live filter-and-sort. 3 working days to OOO — Jessica’s reviews, GPS retro, and the 6/16–30 timecard are the rocks to land Tue–Thu.
