Founders Weekly
January 7th to 11th
Shout out!
So many great things happened this week! I want to recognize a few:
- Ms. Menard and Ms. Wardwell for working tirelessly to get progress reports out!
- Mrs. Holmes for supporting kids with some serious challenges!
- Mr. Soares for supporting his colleagues in his free time!
Exams
The thought was to rotate the schedule so students that are often tardy do not consistently miss the same exam/project class.
In year's past, teams have worked together to attempt to avoid exam/project conflicts and helping students manage due dates.
***** IMPORTANT!! The grading breakdown in PowerSchool for each quarter is 20% and exams are 10% each (midterm/final). If anyone needs help on how to set up their exam grades in PowerSchool, Allison has graciously offered to support!
Morning Duty
One person for supervision on the 4th floor with duties that include:
- Actively supervising students in the area
- Reminding students to use the locker room and get Chromebook before the start of block 1
- Supervising 8th grade Chromebook retrieval
- Occasional front desk supervision
- Occasional breakfast distribution
Please let me know if you are interested.
8th Grade Locker Room and Chromebook Room
We are having some issues with the 8th grade locker room and chromebook room. I would like to keep both locked during the day. Unfortunately, a couple of students reported to me on Friday via email that someone was rifling through backpacks and cash and candy have gone missing. Both of those spaces are out of the way. Please help me manage this situation by communicating that we will only open these spaces with adult supervision. I have been opening the chromebook room in the morning. If a student needs to get into these spaces outside of these hours please call the office.
