Project Humanities at ASU
I'm a Coordinator at Project Humanities at Arizona State University. I'm reaching out on behalf of our director, Dr. Neal Lester, with an upcoming event that we think Campo Verde staff, students, and parents may be interested in attending. The event is free, and welcome to everyone. See below for more information. Feel free to reach out should you have any questions. Thank you!
Title: Talking to Children about the Bad, the Ugly, and the Inevitable
Date: Thursday, November 7
Time: 6-8pm
Location: ASU Poly campus
Description: Understanding societal ills such as intersecting systems of oppression (racism, ageism, ableism, sexism), illness, violence, war, and death can be difficult. It becomes even more challenging, however, when adults have to explain these tough topics to the children. How does one navigate difficult conversations with children? How can adults raise conscious, equity-driven children and youth toward a more just community and society? Join us for a conversation that explores these and other critical questions.

Community service hours
Campo Verde Key Club is the community service club on campus, but not everyone who volunteers is involved in the club. Sponsor, Kathy Diggs, created a way for all students to log their hours. It is a simple process and all students are invited to record their hours so they can be eligible for scholarships, GEF Varsity Letter and CV Honor Cords for graduation. The link to the video tutorial is here:

The marching band will be traveling to London on December 27, 2019 to perform in this parade on New Year's day 2020! There is much preparation behind the scenes taking place to get all equipment, passports, fees, and details taken care of before students, staff, and chaperones travel. Special thanks to the planning crew and BPO for their help!
Our annual Families Take the Field event is on Monday, 11/18/19 at 5:30pm in the courtyard and will be a lot of fun as marching band students teach their families how to march! This tradition brings families together for a meal then gives them a chance to step into band practice, learn the ropes, and perform a basic drill for the crowd. All spectators welcome!

sweep
Students who do not arrive to their first hour class on time will be redirected to the sweep room. A parent or guardian must physically enter the building to sign in the late student, otherwise the student will be directed to sweep. Parent phone calls will not excuse the sweep.
While in sweep students will not be able to work on assignments, socialize, or use any electronic devices. Procedures will be in place for students to make up class work and tests they may have missed when they were in Sweep. If a student is swept on a test day, the teacher will allow the student to make up the test. Students who have an assignment due will deliver it to the teacher that same day. All students will be informed of how the Sweep program will be integrated into their school day.
Students who demonstrate repeated tardy behavior will be subject to the progression of interventions and disciplinary action in an effort to encourage and teach proper time management skills. Consequences for sweep will go as follows:
1 st Tardy Offense: Students will be sent to sweep for the remainder of the class period and it will be documented.
2 nd Tardy Offense: Students will be sent to sweep for the remainder of the class period and receive a referral.
3 rd Tardy Offense: Students will be sent to sweep for the remainder of the class period and assigned Saturday School.
