West Weekly Update
Volume 12, Issue 16, 12/5/21
From the desk of Mr. Jolliffe
Staff – We will celebrate the holidays on Wednesday, December 15th from 1-2PM in the cafeteria with a Chili Cook-off. Get your team together, create a team name and let’s have some fun!!! Your team information needs to be to Michelle Riddle by Friday. All staff invited to enjoy the festivities.
Reminder that we have 7 days of school before finals. If you have kids with D’s and F’s I expect that calls, texts, emails have been made. An actual contact with the family is required. We have to extend multiple chances to catch our kids when they are ready to learn and take advantage of the help.
This is a full week of events. We host basketball on Tuesday and wrestling on Thursday. On Friday, we have an activity day with our annual Dodge Ball tournament at the end of the day. Team Admin/Security are defending champs (in our minds). Friday is basketball at South.
We now have the following ways for your students to get assistance on their work:
- After School Tutoring 3:30-5:00 – Mon, Tues, Thurs in F4 and Wednesday in cafeteria
- Lunchtime Tutoring in F4 – Schedule your time for a quiet place to get some extra help
- Academy Time Tutoring in F4 by appointment – College Tutors
- Revolution Prep – Expectation is you have had your AT kids log-in and make an appointment
**Available during the week 8AM-10PM, weekends 9AM-6PM - Homework Helpline – Mon-Thursday – 3:30-7:30PM – 973-4411

CLC
CLC this week is planning time. You can plan with your department here at the school or with another school via TEAMS or plan on your own. I am also available to help with planning.
From the District:
We are seeking your feedback on how CLC's have gone for you this year as an individual and how they have gone for your CLC team. Please have this completed by the end of business on Wednesday, December 8 so that we can have time to process this and adjust our CLC plan for the Second Semester based on the data we receive back from each of you.
