In Case You Missed It:
The agenda for our AVID Validation visit has been approved by AVID Center. Our Validation Day is set for Tuesday, October 17 and, we are doing exactly what we did at the Mock Visit except for an additional meeting at the end of the day with the entire staff. We will all gather in the media center at 3pm to hear from our visitors and have a small celebration for our faculty. We will be having a public celebration on Wednesday, October 18, at 9:00 am in an assembly in the gym. We have invited many local officials, school leaders, and our 8th grade AVID elective students from last year as special guests.
Seventh and eighth graders that returned the required paperwork AND do not owe any technology fines will be able to take home their laptops beginning tomorrow, Monday. Homeroom teachers will place a yellow zip tie on the top loop of laptop book bag.
Grade level and elective team leaders met with admin team to discuss dismissal now that laptops are going home. We have decided to go back to the original dismissal schedule, 6th, 7th, 8th, beginning Monday. Let's remember that everyone is supposed to stay on their hallway/area until the appropriate bell rings. If a grade level is delayed for some reason or there is a back up, PLEASE be PATIENT. Sometimes things happen (student issue, substitute, etc)! If there is a backup pattern (happens at least 3 times), please report this to your team leader and/or an administrator to investigate. We all have the same goal; get our Stallions to the buses and cars quickly and safely.
Please keep Tommy Harrington and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Tommy's father-in-law passed away on Friday morning.
Laurie Preston, EC teacher, has turned in her resignation and will be leaving us at the end of the month. We have benefited greatly from Laurie's experience and compassion. She will be missed.
Make sure to stop by the counseling area and introduce yourself to our newest addition, Anna Whalen. Tomorrow, Monday, October 11, is her first day.
