"Preparing and Educating for Success"
WEEKLY UPDATE 8/31/18
STUDENTS FIRST
As I'm sure you have heard, the district lost another student yesterday. A 7th grader at the Middle School. As of this time, we do not know of any connections to students here at FHS but please be mindful if you see a student struggling so we can get them the proper assistance. We finished another long week, and I hope you all enjoy your 3 day weekend.
-I know it's early, but we are looking for our graduation speaker from the class of 1999. If you know of someone please send me their name so I can make contact.
-ICU will be turned on and live as of today. Do not go in there and "play" around or parents will get notifications. Remember the only assignments going into the system are assignments that are for a grade and directly connected to learning standards and curriculumn.
-We are still working through the morning bells. Make sure that if you leave your room prior to 7:40 to close your doors so students don't come in your room. We have had some sitting in empty rooms after that first bell. As we work on this process please let us know of any concerns you are seeing.
-Sept 10th is our Active Shooter PD day. It will be from 8-11:30. Lunch will include food trucks in the parking lot or the opportunity to go out on your own. You must be back in the Commons by 12:30 for a speaker that will begin presenting at that time.
-With our new email blasts, you MUST keep gradebooks up to date.
-We need to remember that Seminar time is for academic assistance and students are receiving .25 credits a semester. It is not a time to hold club meetings and such. This also hinders students from attending classes they need to go to for help. I understand the busy schedules and if an intro meeting is a must I get it, but do not hold regular meetings during Seminar.
-NEE evaluations will begin next week. Kati and I will be dropping in. Remember we hope to get in and out with as little distraction as possible so just keep doing what you do.
-Thank you all for continuing our data team work this year. The leadership team met Thursday morning and it was great to see the data teams signed up and to see they were already conducting productive meetings.
