Student Shoutout
Ronald Hill
- Congrats to Ronald for earning Student of the Week
- Through his hard work and dedication so far this school year he is making some great strides.
- Thanks to all of you for working with and getting him to this point.
- Let's continue to push him and prepare him for success in school as well as outside of school.
- When you see Ronald, please congratulate him.
Curriculum and Instruction
4.5 Week Assessments
- Tuesday and Wednesday, teachers will administer the 4.5-week assessments.
- It is important that no other major quizzes or tests are given on these days so that students can focus on the 4.5-week assessments.
Operations
Open Enrollment in Almost Here!
- Open Enrollment begins September 30 and runs through October 31. There are changes this year, and action is required to maintain the 80/20 plan. Click here for details.
- Angel Tomlin from HR will be on MHS campus 10/12-10/13 to assist or answer questions. Click here to sign-up for a time slot to meet with her.
Employee Health Plan Changes
- Healthcare Reimbursement Funds must be used by March 31, 2018. These funds will not roll over to the following year. HRA funds will only be available for claims incurred in 2017 and submitted for processing before March 31, 2018. The CDHP’s Health Engagement Program will continue to be offered through December 31, 2017, but it is important to note that any incentive funds received as a result of any of the designated activities will not roll over and will only be available for claims incurred in 2017. The Board of Trustees voted to eliminate the Consumer-Directed Health Plan (CDHP) for 2018.
- Contact Angel Tomlin in HR if you have any questions.
Middle School Updates
Staff Meeting @ MS
- This Wednesday at our staff meeting the Sunshine committee will be serving up a tasty snack. If you have not joined by Wednesday that's okay enjoy your snack, because I know you will, everyone wants a little sunshine.
- It is $20 for the year or $10 a semester.
P.S. Drinks will not be provided at this staff mtg.
High School Updates
NCTIES
The 2018 NCTIES Conference is now accepting proposals for their March 2018 Conference. NCTIES is a popular conference held in Raleigh, NC each year to celebrate technology integration into our classrooms.
If you are interested in submitted a proposal to present, check out this link. If you would like to present, but have no idea how the process works or even if your idea would be one for the NCTIES conference, please make an appointment with Damien, Tracey, or I and we will be more than happy to walk you through the process. Each of us have presented at this conference consistently over the years. I'm also including a link to the NCTIES conference website, so you can learn more about this opportunity.
