Holiday Lunch this Week!
Be sure your students know the schedule.
2008 Graduate!
Tim Ellis, PSHS class of 2008, was just named to Time Magazine’s The Next Top 100 for 2019 – a recognition that is world-wide.
Although this adds to his listing of MIT Top 35 under 35, Forbes 30 under 30, Inc Magazine 30 under 30, and Business Insider 30 under 30, the Time Magazine honor and listing is something beyond all. Tim also is the youngest member of the U.S. Space Council advisory group. He has also testified in Senate hearings over the partnership of private space and governmental interaction.
If you google Time Next 100, you will find this list. The Magazine also just arrived at Barnes and Noble. This is quite an honor for Tim, and for Plano, PISD, and PSHS as well.
https://time.com/collection/time-100-next-2019 is a link that will show you the list. The video of the Next 100 Live announcement includes the moderator specifically mentioning Tim.
Bathroom Pass Reminder
Thank you.
From ESL
The ESL department has created a Google classroom to facilitate communication. Strategies, resources, and information about forms will be posted there. One of our campus goals is to increase student performance on TELPAS and strategies to support this goal are also posted there. The code is 1z2svw.
Textbooks
Dr. Lyons will be sending out numbers so that department heads know our official counts.
After the Thanksgiving break, Ms. Gow will send out the link to the Not Clear List so that you can add anyone not clear this semester.
Thank you!
Schedule Change Procedures for Next Semester
There may be a few schedule changes for next semester due to balancing. Additionally, if you have students in honors/AP who have worked hard and yet struggled all semester, please let the appropriate counselor know if you are concerned.
No schedule changes will be made after the 3rd nine weeks.
