Celebrating Success
Each semester the Arizona Department of Education allocates a small amount of money for schools to hire AIMS Tutors.  Last semester Lorena Vera-Trejo tutored 16 students with great success. Out of the 16 students tutored, 11 passed AIMS Math.  The 3 of the 4 students who did not pass improved by anywhere from 2 to 26 points. Congratulations Lorena and students.

We will implementing  AIMS tutoring again this semester. Lorena will offer math tutoring during Pathways and Ann Hurst will be tutoring for Reading and Writing after school. (Day and place TBA). If you have junior or senior students who you would like to refer for tutoring please give names to Lorena and or Ann Hurst (a.hurst@att.net ).

School Safety
In keeping with the recent attention to school safety and security and related policy, ADE is holding school safety trainings throughout the state.  Ed Vesely and I will be attending a two day training at NAU on January 29 and 30th. We will share the information we learn with you at an upcoming Faculty Meeting. If you have specific questions that you would like us to bring up at the training, please let us know.

Wednesday PLCs
Please submit your PLC plan for this semester and the notes from your team meeting to Tadd before the end of the day on Wednesday, January 16.

Thursday Pathways and Intervention
This Thursday, following ASP, students will begin their new Pathways or go to Intervention .  Please remember that if you would like a student to attend Intervention Study Hall you will need to give the student the light yellow Study Hall pass.
