Celebrating Success
Our CHS Student Council has been working hard to complete and submit an application to the Arizona Association of Student Councils to host the annual Student Council conference at Coconino High School in 2016. This is a highly competitive process and hosting the conference is an honor for the hosting school. The winning school was announced Saturday at this year's conference and..drum roll please...CHS won the bid. Congratulations to our student council and sponsors. This is truly an honor for CHS.
Rachel's Challenge
Under the leadership of Joyce Daoust a group of dedicated and caring students have been meeting two times a month to discuss and plan for ways to promote kindness and compassion at our school. Recently they decided that 2x per month was not enough. They are now meeting each week on Thursday afternoons during Pathway time. They also changed their name to the Legion of Kindness. I look forward to hearing their ideas and plans and will share them with you all through the weekly PantherReport blog posts.
PLC Effectiveness Survey
Wow, thank you all for your thoughtful responses. 90% of you believe that the Wednesday Collaboration Team time is valuable to your teaching practice, 82% believe it positively impacts student achievement, 98% prefer the current "unstructured" CT time, 94% share instructional strategies while 73% are interested in more sharing and learning with colleagues. Some CTs would like more direct feedback and a couple of teams are struggling because the members on their teams teach different subjects. Overall, CTs are highly valued and productive. Please know that CHS administration will use your input and feedback to help plan for the future and incorporate your thoughts and ideas into the school improvement plan we create through the accreditation process. Again, thank you for taking the time to complete the survey.
Field Trips
'Tis the season for filed trip requests. If you are planning a field trip this spring please let me know as soon as possible and keep in mind that if a student is not passing his/her classes they probably should not miss school for a field trip. Students can print out their current grades from StudentVue for verification that they are indeed passing their classes.
