Assessments
I usually don't like to say hang in there, because the implication is that something unpleasant is occurring, but I just have to say hang in there, four more days of AZMerit. I know the past two weeks have not been easy for most. Interestingly the feedback has been mixed; some teachers have shared that they really like the 110 minute periods along with the 110 minute prep periods, while others wish never to repeat this testing format again. We will consider all feedback as we plan for next year. * Structures committee this will be another item of discussion at our next meeting. Date and time TBA soon.
Next up AIMS Science. (The only remaining piece of AIMS)
When: 4/21 Tuesday
Who: All 10th grade students with the exception of those who tested as 9th graders last year. And, 9th grade students in CIT or Biology.
Where: 9th graders in the small gym
10th graders in the large gym
Power of Your Presence
As we approach the final weeks of the school year, teacher visibility is extremely helpful in keeping our hallways safe and positive. Thank you to the many teachers who are in the hallways and at doorways during passing periods. Your presence is powerful. Being visible is very helpful in thwarting undesirable behavior on and about campus. Your continued help is greatly appreciated!
Attendance
Please take time during Pathway Study Halls to talk to students about their attendance. Ask students to pull up StudentVue to check the number of absences for second semester. Students who have ten or more absences in any class are on Attendance Probation and should have received a letter home with this information. Please remind students that if they are on attendance probation they will need to write and submit an appeals letter on or before May 15. Side note...This conversation might need to include a vocabulary lesson about what "appeal" means. Thank you!
