March 23 and March 24 Exams
As stated in an earlier email, the district has moved up our exams by one week due to STAAR EOC's. The week following our exams will still fall within the third nine weeks grading period. Any assignments given that week will be included in the nine week grade. It may be a good time to cover those materials that are normally covered during this time but had to be eliminated due to earlier testing. All subjects will have to follow this grading guideline.
Striving for Excellence
This award is given to the top Anatomy students for the term. Some of the students actually earn stethoscopes which are donated from Walgreen. Mrs. Scarbrough has been doing this recognition over the last few years. This was in the previous newsletter, but I had inadvertently referred to it as Meds Club.
Student ID
Must wear in every class. If you question a student who doesn't have it on but it is in their pocket, have them put it on for your class. No need to send to office. Those who don't have it on, they would be sent to the office. We must enforce the rules to make it successful. I do believe it is making a difference.
Restroom Makeover
Ms. Sparks class gives D Hall Faculty RR a fresh look. The students presented their design considerations. Once chosen, the work began and we now have a nice new look to a faculty restroom. The goal will be to do at least two per year.
Shrek Musical: Coming January 28
The students and staff have been working extremely hard starting several months ago to put on the musical, Shrek. Make sure you and your family come out to see these incredible actors, singers, dancers, and musicians perform this fun play.

February 15: Innovation Presentations
All teachers will be presenting their innovation on February 15 to their peers. Over the past three years, professional learning opportunities have been provided to help you find other ways to teach your students. You have put these skills together to have engaging lessons for the students at Marcus. We are all excited to see these amazing innovations.
