Montgomery Blair High School
Principal's December Newsletter
Dear Blair Families,
As you know, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) will offer both virtual and in-person learning experiences as health metrics permits. MCPS could begin a phased-in return to in-person instruction beginning January 12, 2021, with a focus on specific special education programs and certain Career and Technology Education (CTE) programs. If health metrics continue to be met, larger groups of students will begin phasing in on February 1, 2021.
Please complete the survey to indicate whether you prefer to have your child remain virtual or go to school in person. We want to hear from all families so that we can plan staffing and our building for a safe return. The deadline to complete this is December 3. https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/reopening/family-preference-survey.aspx.
If you need to contact school staff, our directory is here with staff email information, https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/directory/directory_Boxschool.aspx?processlevel=04757.
This is a reminder to tune into our Blair Network Television Show to watch our talented Blazers and receive school news and information. Click the InfoFlow link below to see the latest episode.

NEW: MCPS Grading and Reporting Changes:
MCPS has revised grading and reporting guidelines as we enter the second grading period of the year. Below are some areas where the guidance has changed.
Progress Checks
Progress Checks are county-wide assessments given in select core subject areas (i.e. English). These assignments were typically scored as 10% of the quarter grade in their own category. While Progress Checks may still be administered, they will no longer be scored in their own category. If they are scored, they will be entered as other assignments are.
Work Load
The minimum number of assignments for the Practice/Preparation category has been reduced to four per marking period. Practice/Prep assignments are those scored for completion, not accuracy and can be worth up to 10% of a course grade as a group of assignments.
A recommendation was made for teachers to assign seven to nine major assignments per marking period. These assignments are graded for accuracy. This is a recommendation and some courses may have fewer or more assignments depending on course needs.
Due Dates & Deadlines
It is very important for students to meet due dates as assigned by teachers. This helps students be prepared for new instruction and avoids work snowballing for the end of the marking period. Work turned in after due dates can receive a 10% deduction for being turned in late.
We understand that the current pandemic has caused disruptions to our students’ lives. For this reason, teachers are instructed to be lenient with accepting and grading late work when a student cannot get the work done by the due date. Students having challenges getting work done by the due dates or their parents should communicate with the teacher in order to receive additional support.
Incomplete Grades
If you have an “Incomplete” grade for the second semester of the 2019-2020 school year, you have the opportunity to complete credit recovery assignments and receive a passing grade for the Spring 2020 semester. Please refer to the links below to register with the department for the class(es) you need to recover credit in. The Department Resource Teacher will connect you with the credit recovery assignments to be completed. All credit recovery assignments must be completed by Tuesday, January 12, 2021.

Culture of Respect, A Student Online Training Lesson
Montgomery County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our students are equipped with the information needed to be able to recognize signs of bullying/cyberbullying, harassment (including sexual harassment), hate-bias incidents, hazing, intimidation, and student gender norms.
An online student training lesson, entitled “Culture of Respect,” has been developed for students in grades 6 through 12. This online training lesson provides critical information that will help students better recognize the signs of inappropriate behaviors, including the various ways to report alleged/concerning incidents.
The training includes a student survey that will provide school leaders with valuable data to assess the current culture and climate of respect at their schools and determine potential next steps to plan for improvements. Students will earn two SSL hours to complete the training. Click here for more information.

Diversity and Inclusion Updates:
As the school community transitions from a tumultuous election cycle, we will increasingly turn our attention to long-term efforts supporting anti-bias professional development, and expanding equitable practices for staff and students. To this end, our Instructional Leadership Team has begun to engage in training on race, equity, and restorative justice from MCPS instructional specialists. Additionally, the school will launch in December its 2020-21 Equal Opportunity Schools initiatives to increase access to advanced and rigorous instructional opportunities for all students. We are also engaged in a school-wide equity audit, including the review of student leadership selection and recruitment practices for publications and extracurricular activities.

The National Art Honor Society has taken on its first service project of the year with the non-profit organization Youth Art For Healing. This is our seventh year working with Youth Art For Healing and over the years we have made a little under 200 works of art for local hospitals and health organizations. This year NAHS students will be creating 30x40 “Gifts of Gratitude” Paintings for local Health Care Professionals. The paintings we make are usually permanently installed into health care facilities, however, this year the art will be a gift for the health care professionals to take home as a thank you for all their hard work during the pandemic. 13 of our Blazers have been matched with 13 local health care professional and are working on finalizing their sketches while we wait for supplies to be delivered to Blair. Check out Youth Art for Healing for more information.
The sketches below are by our talented Blair students: Angela Tu, Anne Michelle Sandjol, and Emily Reyes-Gonzalez
Athletics
Blazer Community,
Hoping this newsletter finds you well and safe. We are in our last two weeks of the winter virtual athletics season and the teams and coaches are doing a great job and having fun with guest speakers, skill work, knowledge work, and workouts, all virtual. We are now headed into the spring sports virtual season. All students enrolled at Blair High School are eligible to participate. The season consists of a minimum of three student-athlete and coach engagement sessions per week over the course of five weeks.
Coaches may schedule sessions after the school day until 9 pm and from 9 am - 3 pm on Saturdays. The spring virtual season is scheduled to occur between December 14, 2020, and January 22, 2021. The spring sports at Blair High School are Baseball, Coed Softball (corollary sport), Gymnastics, Lacrosse (Boys), Lacrosse (Girls), Tennis (Boys), Tennis (Girls), Track & Field, Volleyball (Boys), and Volleyball (Coed).
All students participating in the spring virtual season, as part of the MCPS interscholastic athletics program, must complete the online registration process. Registration is done electronically through the Blair Virtual Spring Athletics Registration form found here: English Version Blair Virtual Athletics Registration. The Spanish version of the Blair Virtual Athletics Registration form can be found here: Spanish Version Spring Virtual Athletics Registration form. This form will be available from November 24, 2020, to December 13, 2020. As of December 13, registration will be closed. Students and parents/guardians who have difficulty with registration should contact the Blair Athletic Director, Rita J. Boulé. More information can be found at BlairBlazersAthletics.com.
A student-athlete is highly encouraged to have a medical clearance form completed and on file at Blair High School in the Athletics Department for the virtual season. The only form that can be accepted is the form found here: SR-8 Medical Clearance. If this form was submitted to the Blair Athletics office during the 2019-2020 school year, it is valid for the virtual season.
Lastly, the Montgomery Blair Boosters Athletic Association is working hard to provide opportunities to purchase apparel in the next couple of weeks. There is also a plan to build a community with a virtual Community 5K Run For The Heart in February! More details to come.
If you should ever have questions or comments, please reach out to Athletic Director/Specialist Rita J. Boulé at Rita_J_Boule@mcpsmd.org. Blazer Athletics looks forward to the rest of the semester and moving through these virtual times engaging our community and students and working with Blair staff to support them! Stay safe and healthy!

PTSA Staff Appreciation:
Hi Blazer Community!!
We hope you had a happy and safe Thanksgiving; onto more holidays and a chance for you to show your appreciation for our hardworking MBHS staff!
This year have 3 ways to do so, all of which are covid-safe and bound to make our staff feel celebrated! Take a minute to spread some holiday cheer today!
1. Postcard Positivity -- You can send an e-postcard to our staff using this easy-peasy Google form -- send a note to one of your child's teachers, or your student can send a note as well! Drop a line to folks in the Main office and MBHS building services, for keeping MBHS all ready for when the Blazers return! Send a shout to our counselors or coaching staff!

2. Bon Appetit Blazers -- A 2020 Virtual Cookbook. We are planning to create a 2020 virtual cookbook for our staff featuring our community's favorite recipes! We know you have them (and our staff know too) -- while big staff lunches in the SAC are on hold for a bit, dig out that recipe that our staff loves and send it to us (along with a photo if you can). Then we will compile it into a nice big PDF for our staff as a holiday thank you! The deadline for these submissions is December 18 so we can get our virtual cookbook all ready to go home with staff before winter break!
This is for Bon Appétit Blair Recipe Book
https://forms.gle/LXBUcbVqE6ZeWwQQA
3. Gift Cards -- In prior years, our parents have donated gift cards to be raffled off at the staff holiday party at El Golfo. Sadly, the staff can't gather there this year, but Mrs. Johnson promises to do her raffle act for the staff at the Virtual Staff Holiday Party on Tuesday, December 15.
We need your help to purchase gift cards and we can have a contactless drop off at my house (I live pretty close to Blair); you can buy electronic gift cards and send them to my email; or if it's easier, feel free to give me $$, and I'll pick up the cards. We'd like for Mrs. Johnson to continue to raffle gift cards off on a rolling basis after the party all month long.
Please let us know if you have any questions or run into any technical issues!
Best,
Diane Kelleher ( diane.kelleher@gmail.com) and Ale Mercado (alejandra.mercado@gmail.com)
