"ACADEMIC SUCCESS UNDER CONSTRUCTION"
2017-2018
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
STAFF NOTES...
Quote of the Week: "Don't count the days, make the days count." --- Muhammad Ali
* ACT will be hosted in the high school this Saturday, April 14th. Please refrain from entering the academic wings during the day Saturday. Thanks!
* Next Wednesday (juniors/seniors) and Thursday (freshmen/sophomores) will be our Academic Breakfasts. This year we split the days and have invited parents to the event.
*Teachers with seniors
- PLEASE begin monitoring any senior who is failing your class. If you have not made an attempt to contact home, I would ask that you do this as soon as possible. We have 28 seniors that are currently failing at least one class...
- The last day for seniors is only 25 days away and it is not ideal to be notifying students right at the end that they have failed a class, thus putting their graduation status in jeopardy. We need to be entering grades and keeping our grade books up to date so there is transparency between you and the student(s).
* Reminder: 2018-19 teaching contracts are due back directly to Cari Aylsworth, our Business Manager, by April 18th. You can drop them off to her or send them to her through inter-school mail. Please do not turn them into building secretaries.
* This week's winner drawn for "Borrow Mr. Garnass for a period" is Jon Hamborg... Please connect with Holly K. and set up a date/time next week. Reminder, this can be a co-teaching or use me as a teacher for one period. Your call..
* Supervision duties for the week of 4/16-4/20: Click Here
* Next up for detention rotation: Social Studies - Please connect with Mr. Ostrem and let him know who will be covering T/W/TH.
* Pre-scheduled meetings for the week of April 16th:
- Monday - SAM (8:30), Interview (1:20), Board Mtg. (5:00)
- Tuesday - IEP (8:00), SAM (8:30), BLT (3:25)

Other...
- Please update FLEX roster by the end of the day.
- Please continue to verify future personal days with Sara before submitting so we can ensure available dates and no more than two staff members out per day.
- Reminder to enter your attendance for each period within the first five minutes.
- Please continue to send students to other locations and late to class with passes. This helps with proper documentation and assists us all in knowing where students are.
- Reminder to keep your student grades updated. The expectation is on a weekly basis unless it is a major project.
- Please be a presence in the hallway during passing time. This proactive measure helps minimize issues.
