NHS Staff Notes

Grad Rehearsal CHANGE
We moved A period finals (with an altered bell schedule) to Thursday May 30th, and the rest of the day is available for other senior finals should you choose to use that day. You may also still host your final the week before. Please communicate when your final will be to the students well in advance if possible.

Senior Teacher Reminder-Failing Students
Thank you in advance for your help in this, and thank you to Carol and our counselors for maintaining that information!
Finals Notes
- As a general policy, we do not have early finals. Please remember this when families approach about leaving for vacation early, etc. Feel free to refer to the admin team as needed!
- Senior finals are a challenge this year. Please go over the May calendar, talk with your colleagues as needed, and plan for your finals. Memorial Day is Monday, Senior project Tuesday and Wednesday, A period finals Thursday, and grad rehearsal and Summit awards on Friday. (with graduation on Sunday) Please plan and communicate to your students about when you will hold your final in your class, and let us know if you have any questions!
Kudos!
- The Junior English faculty for administering a successful 1st week of CAASPP testing. PGE tried to scare us, but we will not falter!! :)
- The Senior English faculty for hosting senior essay readings and getting the work of money done in a short amount of time for our capstone project! We appreciate you!
- All staff and faculty for rolling with the hits as we had a transformer blow, making things interesting here at NHS. Thank you for your professionalism and improvisation! We saw some creative teaching out there!

In an effort to decrease student mischief and liability after school, we are going to be implementing a new policy for after school at NHS
- Computers will log off automatically at 4pm
- Unsupervised students will be asked to leave the building at 4pm
- Supervised activities are still allowed inside of the building- tutoring, clubs, meetings, trainings, etc.
- One door on the breezeway side of the building will remain open for access
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Craig Bocks - bocksc@mdusd.org
