Shout out to Jorge and Hector who went over and beyond, helping me with my Home Depot run. Thanks so much, couldn't have done it without you

Word of the Week - Occupy
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 Weeks' winners were: Destiny Mendez (12), Aaliyah Quevedo (9), Miriam Samy (12), Kyrie Tolliver (12), Daisy Valle-Reyes (12), Emily Yang (12).
Please take a minute to recognize these students if you have them in your class
Information and Updates
Take a moment to read this short article from the School Improvement Network about the value of flipping your classroom. It also has some hyperlinks to tech tips.
This week begins with the honor roll field trip. Students who earned a 3.5 or above during the first semester will be spending the day at Knott's Berry Farm.
Tuesday the AVID students from John Glenn will be visiting classrooms to see and learn about our many fabulous programs.
Please encourage your seniors to attend FAFSA completion night on Thursday. The counselors will be there to guide families and provide assistance as needed.
Club photos will be in the gymnasium at lunch Tuesday - Friday. Mrs. Herrera emailed the schedule and put it in the shared file. It is a live document and may change so please don't print it.
I will be out Wednesday - Friday at an IB training. Please work with our assistant principals for issues or concerns that come up. I will be checking my email each evening / morning.
Looking ahead: Future Freshman Night is March 22nd. If you have a club or academy or event that you would like to showcase, this is a wonderful time to talk to our incoming freshmen. Please contact Mrs. Herrera if you are interested. She will also send out information in the coming weeks.
