Whoop Whoop! Homecoming week is behind us. Thank you to everybody for making this 2011 Homecoming week a successful one. A special thank you to Diane Sorden, Gaby Garcia and Student Council for a great parade, pep assembly and dance. Your efforts to make this a full week full of CHS spirit and Panther pride is appreciated by all. Congrats to our Panther Football and Volleyball teams for their wins last week!
Also...Thank you teachers for your work during our collaborative team time. The responses to our five PLC questions will help drive us forward in our efforts to create the best CHS learning environment possible.
And another thank you...Per your requests, our PTO has purchased a year's supply of butcher paper and a rack to house the paper for your use. And, in case you haven't heard Lydia Hemphill secured a donation of a beautiful baby grand piano for our CHS music programs. The instrument is quite exquisite and greatly appreciated by our "music" teachers and students. Please stop by Doug Riddle's room and take a peak.
Good News from Tricia Roach and our Secondary Intervention Team:
This year, every Flagstaff USD secondary school has created a Secondary Collaborative Intervention Team (SCIT). The purpose of SCIT is to identify and work with those English Language Learners (ELLs), Fluent English Proficient (FEP) students, and Native American students who have not passed AIMS or who are having difficulty in your classes with academics and attendance. Funding for this program comes from already-existing monies in the budgets for ELL and Indian Education programs.
Our team consists of Ella Mase (Home-School Coordinator), Leslie Grabel (ELL Specialist), LaShia Scharfenberger (Native American Academic Advisor), Tricia Roach (Instructional Coach), and Stacie Zanzucchi (Principal). We have chosen 30 students (9-12) with whom to begin work.
It is our goal to support students in being successful in your classes and passing AIMS. Our intensive interventions will include:
• Meeting with students to identify problem areas, strengths, and goals;
• Observing students in your classrooms;
• Ongoing monitoring of student progress;
• Talking with parents about student issues;
• Talking with you, the teachers, to plan strategies to assist students in achieving your academic objectives;
• Identifying resources that help to meet specific student needs; and
• Maintaining data to assess the impact of our interventions.
You will soon receive a list of the 30 students in an email. Please expect a member of the team to be contacting you if a targeted student is in one of your classes. Together with you, we hope to truly make a difference for these kids. Thanks for your dedication to CHS students!
