Celebrating Success
Nearly $1,000.00 has already been raised, in pennies, to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to support research and help people with blood cancers live better, longer, quality lives. Thank you for making a difference in so many ways CHS! A special thank you to Dave Tessmer, Paula Wright and our NHS students for organizing and monitoring this campaign.

FYI Tuesday night, February 28, FUSD Secondary Principals together with Assistant Superintendent, Dave Dirksen, will be presenting the proposed Modified Six Period Day Schedule. Should the Governing Board endorse this plan and the Superintendent approve the schedule, we will begin to define and refine collaboration Wednesdays and Intervention Thursdays. Several of you have shared with me, your thoughts and ideas for meaningful interventions, thank you. Also, as you know, we will be moving toward the implementation of the Common Core Standards which will require time to learn and plan for implementation. The collaboration Wednesdays will provide time within the contractual day for us to work in our Collaborative Teams to examine the standards, identify essential learning outcomes (Content Objectives), create formative benchmark assessments, identify best teaching strategies, share and examine data, create opportunities for interventions and enrichment and ultimately improve student learning. Good work ahead!

StudentVue/ParentVue Now that many of our students and parents are logging on to view grades and attendance it is more important than ever for teachers to accurately post and maintain grades. Please see Jen Parker or Abel Garlant if you need help with your grade book.

AIMS All 10th graders will be taking the Writing and Reading tests on Tuesday and Wednesday. 11th and 12th graders who have not yet met and those who wish to attempt to exceed will also be testing. Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation this week.
