celebrating the return to joseph case high school
Open House on Thursday, September 24
You can access your child's schedule via Aspen X2. Follow a Day 1 schedule vertically.
Here are the gathering times on Thursday night:
TS 1: 6 p.m.
TS 2: 6:15 p.m.
TS 3: 6:30 p.m.
TS 4: 6:45 p.m.
TS 5: 7:00 p.m.
TS 6: 7:15 p.m.
TS 7: 7 :30 p.m.
Teachers will communicate the specific link for their class' open house meeting. Again, we will provide additional details next week on how you can access your child's teachers' Google Meet codes.
Drop/Add
Only completed forms within this small window will generate a drop/add meeting with guidance counselors.
Please note: there is no guarantee that change will occur. The high school has been transparent that there is very little room for movement given the current health restrictions and diminished staffing. In most cases, classes and classroom are at their maximums.
Reminder: Remote students
Remote learning is part synchronous via Google Meet, but mostly an opportunity for self-directed learning. It is a pathway that it is facilitated by teachers to provide resources, but depends on a disciplined student to access and complete assignments in order to demonstrate mastery.

Four years ago...
I leave you very tired at the end of week #1, but exhilarated at the chance to again be with our Case High community on Monday.
Here are some pictures comparing first day freshman year with two of our seniors from earlier this week. I'm so glad to be back together with all of you and once again given the opportunity to lead this high school in my 17th year as its principal.
In gratitude,
Brian
