Keeping Up with What is Going on at the Hill!!!
Bulldog families, we're over half way through October and it has been quite a month with a lot going on. We've had some fun activities and have been working to continue to scaffold instruction to have students truly interact with the content of classes. Please review all the events happening for the upcoming week.

IDs are to be worn at all times
We are continuing to iron out this procedure, but all students seemed to have adapted quickly to this. We encourage students to keep their IDs in their lockers overnight. However, while not ideal, if they leave their ID at home, we will give them a temporary ID throughout the day. We strongly encourage students to keep their IDs with them at all times. This is highly important for safety reasons.
This new procedures promotes safety and the preservation of instructional time for the students. This allows to keep track of students, how long they are out of class, and the frequency by which they are out of class. This new program allows us to sort using an excel spreadsheet and then address only those individuals who are frequently out of the classroom. There is no additional change or procedure your child has to do except get into the habit of bringing their ID cards.
