We made it...It is hard to believe this is the last Panther Report for 2016, but indeed it is. On behalf of Cris, Steve and I, thank you for a great semester, for your hard work, dedication and commitment to our students and to our school. Our best to you all this week as we wrap up the semester and our warmest wishes for a healthy, happy and safe holiday season.
CELEBRATING SUCCESS
One of our goals this year is to reduce the number of students on attendance probation, and I can happily say we're on our way. Although the number of students with "Chronic Illness " documentation has increased, our total number of students on probation has decreased.
A special thank you to Tina Burrell and the entire attendance committee for devoting many hours throughout the semester to communicate the message of the importance of attendance, keeping a close watch on the numbers, and at the final hour reading the numerous appeal letters. The process is time consuming and the decision as to whether the students in question should earn credit is taken very seriously and not an easy one.
Students will be notified this week regarding their appeals.

WHAT ABOUT STUDENTS WITH IEPs?...
Please check in Synergy to see whether or not students with IEPs in your classes require testing accommodations. Even if we do not agree that the student should have any accommodations, the IEP trumps our own feelings about this. If we ignore this piece during testing, the test could be determined invalid and we will have to offer the student the chance to retake the exam. If you are unsure how to search for this information, or what the "accommodations" mean, please check with the student's case manager, or with Dana so she can direct you to the case manager. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
WHAT ELSE...
That's a wrap! Have a great week and enjoy the break. See you all back here on Tuesday, January 3!
We'll see you back here on January 3, 2017
