Tuesday through Friday of the upcoming week our scholars will take their final learn checks for the second quarter. Learn checks are short bi-weekly quizzes in all core area classes. Learn checks enable our teachers to identify levels of mastery for each class and determine remediation strategies for scholars who have not mastered the standards and skills taught over the last two weeks.

n December 18th from 2:10-4:10, we will have our next PBIS incentive. You can see a printable flyer to post in your room here. In order to participate in the incentive, students must:
- Not have received a referral between 11/27 and 12/15 (GLA will assist with this documentation)
- Not have had any unexcused absences between 11/27 and 12/15
- Not have had any missed assignments between 11/27 and 12/15 (progress report distribution will help students identify missing assignments)
- Keep up with their AVID binder and agendas (these items can be repurchased at the school store and this requirement should not be left out)
On 12/18 there will be a modified schedule. That schedule has not been finalized but will allow the last two hours of the day for the incentive.
During the incentive, students will rotate through 4 different winter/ holiday themed activities that will be facilitated by you. Each teacher will have an activity that they do with 4 different groups of students.
Each grade level will be responsible for providing coverage for students who will not participate.
The elective team and support staff will be on hand to assist.
