Principal's Update
From Dr. Duffy, James Monroe High School
Update for November 6, 2020
Reminders
I have just a few short reminders this week. First, remember the new schedule for virtual class meetings: Mondays and Tuesdays are A days, and Thursdays and Fridays are B days. This information is posted on our webpage. We are taking attendance at the virtual class meetings, but student absences will not count against them if they continue to check in daily their homeroom teacher.
Class Meeting Schedule
As noted above, virtual class meetings will coincide with face-to-face class meetings. One important change from past experience is that Monday and Tuesdays are always A days, and Thursdays and Fridays are always B days. This practice supports our effort to maintain a healthy building. It probably also helps students to remember which days are A days and B days. Finally, this schedule also allows for teachers to connect lessons from one day to the next.
Principal Advisory Committees
I want to remind everyone that I am still looking for interested parents and students to participate in our Parent Advisory Committee or Student Advisory Committee. These meetings will be held through virtual meeting platforms. I am very interested in hearing from a wide range of stakeholders as we strive to provide the best educational program at James Monroe High School. Please call or email me for additional information.

Conclusion
Well that’s it for now, JM. Please take care to do all you can to wear a mask in public, follow practices of social distancing, and wash your hands frequently. Everyone has a role to play to contribute to the over-all public health of our community.
Go Jackets!
