#ThoughtfortheDay
IMPORTANT Reminders: FLEXIBLE Learning Plan
NOW is the time for MERCY and GRACE---for both your students and yourself!
2) Assignments should be MANAGEABLE, MINIMAL, and MEANINGFUL for students and parents!
2) Avoid introducing new concepts! (Remember, many students do not have wifi at all or consistent connectivity! This makes learning new concepts harder for these students.)
3) Avoid quizzes or assessments!
4) Daily work may not exceed 30 minutes per course!
5) Grade for effort and/or completion!
6) Use Exempt as necessary for students with limited/no WiFi or for students who need modified work.
(The only exceptions for the above criteria are Dual Credit courses.)
Character Strong: "Friday Feedback"
Now would be a perfect time for you to create a quick survey or a Google Question for student feedback. Let them tell you what is going well or what needs to be improved with your Flexible Learning Day assignments! Ask them what you could do better to help them be successful right now! Maybe this could be your assignment each Friday for your class! Then use their feedback to improve your Flexible Learning Day assignments for Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays!

End-of-Year PDP: Due Friday, May 1st
Hotspot Update
- Hotspots have been ordered (CHS=20; CMS=15) as of 3/27/20.
- Shipping was estimated at 14 days. ETA Monday April 6th.
- A process is in place for distribution based on need and per family (between CMS and CHS).
- Hotspots will have limited monthly data; therefore, filters will be installed by Melissa Young and Dr. Watkins. (Hotspot and dashboard set-up for filters will take at least two days after hotspots arrive!)
- Click here for more information on Zito Media WiFi for Low Income Students.
A+ Updates
- 2020 Seniors still have to have 95% cumulative attendance. Students' cumulative attendance will calculated by using their actual attendance through Monday, March 16th and will be given 100% attendance for March 17th through May 8th.
- 2020 Seniors will not have to have a qualifying EOC Algebra score or ACT/GPA combination.
- 2020 Seniors will have to have a 2.5 cumulative GPA may qualify at the end of either the fall or spring semester of their senior year.
- 2020 Seniors currently completing their tutoring hours will only need 25 of the 50 required hours.
Dr. Watkins will be contacting each senior based on these changes in qualifications.
