The impromptu College Fair was a success. We had about two hundred students mingling and asking thoughtful questions with college reps on Thursday. Thank you everyone for your flexibility and a special thank you to our counseling secretary, Denise VanWoerkom for organizing this important event.
And...woo hoo! Congratulations to our Panther Special Olympics Softball Team who took home a gold medal this weekend. Way to go Panthers!
Exciting News
Phase one of the implementation of mobile devices for the secondary level is in the near future. After several meetings, focused discussion and comparison
of both the Chromebook and iPad features, the iPad was selected as the
device for implementation at the secondary level.
F.U.S.D. middle and high schools will be receiving several full ipad carts (with 30 ipads on each cart) this year. The lingering question is which departments will be on the receiving end during phase 1 implementation? If you have an interest in participating in the first roll out, please let me know.
AIMS this week
Reminder...this is AIMS week. All 11th and 12th grade students who have not yet passed will test this week.
Please share your vote of confidence with our students and encourage them to do their best.

Heads up
This is Coconino's year to go through the accreditation process. This requires schools to critically
evaluate their vision, strategies, priorities, leadership, and programs
and resources. The process of earning and maintaining accreditation requires that we form various committees to examine our school system and develop goals and related actions. Our accreditation review will take place the week after spring break, but we will begin forming committees in December and our work will begin after winter break. I will let you all know what the focus will be for each committee as soon as I know, but wanted to give you a heads up.
