Whole Student Tidbit of the Week
Upcoming STAAR ReTEsts
Social Contract
Semester Exams are in December
We will be having our first semester exams prior to the Winter Break.
No - I repeat - NO - one more time - NO exams will be given early. If a student is absent for the exam, they will need to take the exam after they return not before they leave.
When we return from the break, students will continue to have assignments, quizzes, and awesome learning experiences that will reflect in the first-semester grade up until Friday, January 10 (the end of the first semester).
Friday, December 13 - Periods 7 and 5
Monday, December 16 - Periods 1 and 3 (and 5 if more time is needed)
Tuesday, December 17 - Periods 6 and 8 (and 1 if more time is needed)
Wednesday, December 18 - Periods 2 and 4
REMINDER THAT OUR POLICY IS THAT TEACHERS ARE NOT TO POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. THANKS!
Oldies but goodies...
Club or UIL Academic Sponsor?
Please add your meeting time to this schedule so we know who has what and when -

Students will need to have passes to leave advisory to go to a club. If we can't get this organized and we end up having a lot of students wandering the hallways, we will have to go back to clubs only on Fridays. :(
Read this- put in zeroes for missing work
Please be sure to enter zeroes as they happen. You will also notice that students are often quicker to turn in their late assignments when there is a zero as a placeholder instead of an X.
Of course, when they turn in the assignment late, you can change it (Stu wanted me to put that part in there in case you were confused).
Thank you!!!!
Does the re-do policy apply to nine weeks tests?
However, remember, they need to submit the re-do form within 2 days of receiving their posted grade.
That might mean you have to turn in an incomplete for them and then they have until the following Friday at 4:00 pm to update the grade.
FIRST 15, LAST 15 MINUTES OF CLASS ARE A NO FLY ZONE. DON'T ALLOW STUDENTS TO LEAVE YOUR CLASS DURING THESE TIMES. FIRST 5, LAST 5 DURING ADVISORY.
Advisory Changes Protocol
If you would like to make a change to a student in your advisory, you need to send an email requesting the change to Mrs. Huerta and include the teacher who is the current advisory teacher of the student.
That way everyone is in the loop.
If you don't do it this way, Mrs. Huerta will send the email back to you!
check this out! Students must complete this form to retest/redo!

positive behavior reinforcers.
Make sure you sign it (legibly) and then the students write their name on it and come to the reception desk to put their tickets in the bucket. Please do not send them during instructional time (I know...you wouldn't think of it)! Thanks!
Official works hours are 7:45 - 4:15.
