Parent-Teacher Conferences
Dress: Let's put our best foot forward for parents and families. Please dress professionally for both conference days.
Food: On Sept 24th we will be ordering sandwiches/chips for lunch and pizza for dinner. If you are interested in participating in the provided food, please CLICK HERE. The lunch and dinner break are 30 minutes (11:00 - 11:30 & 4:30 - 5:00)
Procedures: When parents arrive, they will be given a map and told where their student's advisory teacher is located. Maps will be available. They will also be handed a BINGO card. These cards will be collected at the front as they leave. Cards will be collected by the front office, for a drawing on Tuesday and Wednesday for Pizza lunches.
In your conference with parents, please review the student progress report, and the updated grades on Canvas. Please walk parents through any concerns related to grades, attendance and tardies.
Community Fair: A community Fair will be located in the hallway near the attendance office and teachers lounge. The hours are Sept 24th 1-5 PM.
Senior Parent INFO: An informational meeting for 12th grade families will take place in the media center Sept 24th 6-7PM.
Supplies
The supply closets that use to be in Jodie's office have been relocated into the work room behind the green wall with the paw in the front office. Please stop by and get items that you need. There is no need to hoard these items. We will make other orders in the future as needs arise. Please only take what you need. If you have specific requests you can send those to Jodie Larson. She will gather a list and upon admin approval she will place an Office Depot order regularly.
Homecoming INFO 2018
PBIS Update
The first PBIS assembly will be September 27th during Advisory.
Thank you for the consistent use of the Behavior Tracker. On Oct 1st we will provide an update including collective data and review of procedures.
Several questions have come up regarding tardies and truancies. Mr Schmitt, in conjunction with the Admin, are running attendance reports and dealing with attendance hearings and parent meetings. You are not required to fill out Behavior Trackers for attendance. We will go over these procedures for clarity on October 1st.
Tutoring
If you are interested in working After-school tutoring please fill out this form. I am looking for four teachers each Tues, Wed and Thursday from 3:05 - 4:05. Teachers will be paid $30/hr.
If you have a student that you would like to recommend for tutoring, please fill out the following form. An email will be sent to students and staff when after-school tutoring is fully staffed and ready to begin.
Attendance Update
If a student arrives in the first 20 minutes of class, please be sure to update their absence to Tardy in Infinite Campus. Students who arrive after the first 20 minutes should get a pass from the attendance office.
Off campus students in Homeroom: Please do not mark students with off campus classes first or second block absent in homeroom. If a student is truly absent for the day the attendance office will update it correctly.
Tim Schmitt is monitoring attendance and tardies. Appropriate attendance hearings and parent meetings have begun. Please email Mr. Schmitt and/or the grade level principal with specific attendance concerns.
