Week in Review
Congrats to Kendal Muxlow for earning All Thumb honors for girls' basketball. There are only 6 players selected to this team each year (from Sanilac, Tuscola, and Huron counties), and this is voted on by the local media members that cover the thumb area. Great job Kendal and the girls' coaching staff!
SLO's & Data & Observations
If I haven't completed your formal observation yet, I will be in sometime the next few weeks to wrap those up. If there is a specific day/time you would like me to come in just let me know.
Spring Testing
Our spring testing window is finally here. I appreciate everything all of you have done to help prepare our students for their test(s). If you have a grade that still has time until their test(s), please continue to work on the review, test prep, and computer practice needed.
Bob and Sheryl will be grabbing several kids throughout the day on Monday to complete their bubble sheets prior to taking the SAT/PSAT. We had many students who were absent or did not get these completed prior to spring break (some materials were not delivered until during break, and more will be arriving Monday).
Important testing days for the week of April 11th:
April 12th--Juniors (SAT) & 8th Grade M-STEP
April 13th--Juniors (Work Keys & M-STEP), Sophomores/Freshman (PSAT)
April 14th--Juniors with accommodations will complete Work Keys
Schedules for each of these days will be attached in this newsletter email for you. Please double check where you are responsible for, and if you have students (not testing) have a lesson prepared for them to do while they are with you. There will be NO hallway travel in testing areas if you have students that are not testing.

Homework Help Lab
Tuesday/Thursday Mornings in Lori's new room. 7:15-8:00 am
This will cause some students to be past the double doors, but Jesse is there monitoring this and will let them up if needed. Also, any other teachers that have students coming for help in the morning, just have them let Jesse know when they ask to go up early. This will not be an issue, and I encourage you to work with your struggling students.
Tuesday/Thursday Afternoons in Library. 3:15-4:00 pm
Jarrod will be running the morning sessions and Lou will be running the afternoon sessions. Any other teachers are also welcome to help with this. Thanks.
