Celebrating Success: Serious conversations about big ideas, mini-formative assessments, evaluating growth, figuring out ways to provide intensive interventions and enrichment, and how to help our current students be more successful in Algebra. These conversations took place last week while CHS Algebra 1 teachers and I spent two days together at "Algebra Camp". A special thank you to Lorena, James I, James M and Eric R for taking time out to attend this training and for sharing their thoughts and expertise, all in the name of improved student achievement at CHS.
A big thank you to the CHS Culinary Arts Team and students for all the delicious appetizers and desserts last week at the appetizer party. What a treat!
Congratulations to our Boys Basketball Team for a great season... they made it all the way to the second round of the state playoffs. Way to go Panthers!!!
Snow-Day Make-ups for this School year
For this school year, the snow days were built in the calendar as possible days off from school. The first and only snow days thus far will be made up by using the built in days. Therefore April 6 will be a regular day of school, as will April 9. Future snow days, should they happen, would replace subsequent built-in days on the calendar.
Department Meetings
Cris and I will continue to meet with you all to discuss your thoughts and ideas for next year's course offerings. Thank you for your thoughtful input.
