Graduation
May 25th at 2:30 PM.
Tyson Events Center
If you did not attend Back-to-School night in the Fall you are required to attend graduation. My hope is that anyone who is able attends graduation. This is what we are here for!
West teachers wear caps and gowns to the ceremony. If you need a cap and gown, please contact Ashley Cleveland ASAP.
Future Ready
Mentoring
Would you consider helping us get the right people as mentors? We are looking for applications now through the end of February. If you see students that are outgoing, can connect with their peers and can stand up for our strong bystander culture are encouraged to apply. Teachers are the best recommenders and we can really make a difference by encouraging those we see with this type of potential.
The application is pretty simple and students can fill this out online.
Here is the link: https://goo.gl/oPyGAT
We would love to get lots of applications so that we can cover sufficiently if students end up off campus first or second block.
Close Reading
This researched-based strategy is effective in all content areas. For the rest of this year, each teacher should invite an administrator in to watch a Close Reading lesson. We are collecting walk-through data around this strategy 6-12 across the District.
When you implement this strategy please send an invitation to April and/or your evaluator.
If you need more support in implementing this strategy, please reach out to Kristen or Tyson.
