Word of the Week - Credibility
REMINDER: Each week we give six students a backpack with a gift certificate in it when they can tell us the word, what it means and use it correctly in a sentence.
Please post the word of the week green paper in your classroom.
Last week's winners for acknowledge were: Jason Cabanyog (10),Tomas Contreras (11), Justas Martin (11),Celine Slater (11), Daniella Torres (9)
Please take a minute to recognize these students if you have them in your class.
Information and Updates: Graduation is upon us!
I hope you all found time to rest over this three day weekend as we celebrated Memorial Day and all the armed service men and women who died while serving in the U.S. Military.
As we near the end of this extremely busy school year, please continue to support our
students as they prepare for final projects and exams.
Some of you have let me know when you're working on a newer activity or trying something out in your rooms. Please continue to do so. It is definitely a highlight of my day when I am in a classroom, seeing students engaged and enjoying their learning.
If you teach only seniors, please attend grad practice during your senior only classes, periods 1,2,3 on Tuesday and Wednesday. We can use help getting the seniors ready to walk.
Regarding graduation: if you plan on attending, whether you are a row marshal, or are sitting in the stands, please come early and join us in the staff lounge for some sandwiches, snacks, and cake. Assistant Superintendents Dr Novak and Mrs. Fisher will be here along with board members, the mayor of LQ and most of the city council. This event will begin at 5:00 p.m. The staff parking lot will open to the general public at 5:00 p.m.
