Check out the weekly calendar placed in your mailboxes or the school calendar through Outlook to watch. Students love seeing you at their events!
I hope to see you at the Staff vs. Student Basketball Challenge. It is my understanding that CVHS staff is undefeated. The students are hungry...
Kudos and Thanks

Walkthrough Focus
As we walk through this week, we will be looking for the following:
- Daily Learning Target and the agenda that supports its completion: How does your DLT transform as your lessons go through the Rigor-Relevance Framework? How does your agenda align to accomplishing your DLT? How does your instructional activity match the rigor of your DLT?
- Students talking to each other using Academic Language: How do you create opportunities for students to work together to use academic language as they engage in higher level thinking or high cognitive tasks?
- Common Core Transition: How do your lessons reflect the rigorous skills in the ELA anchor standards and/or the Mathematical practices?
WASC Update
PLC Collaboration
Structured Student Interaction: Please commence/continue/finish your debrief of the structured student interaction that you have observed. Please make sure the discussion and next steps are reflected in the minutes you will be turning in.
Performance-Based Task: The window is now open to administer the Performance-Based task. Please let Alain Garnica-Mendoza know when you will administer your PBT. Let him know how many copies he will need to make for your PLC. Determine the support you will need. Please let Becky or me know if you will need a calibration pullout. We will need to coordinate dates to ensure that we will have enough subs.
CVHS Page on Canvas
A CVHS Canvas page has been created for all to access. I will invite all of you to link to the CVHS page. In the files section are resources for common core, WASC documents, and Professional Development Resources.
For the Common Good
- TEHCNOLOGY UPGRADE: Have you backed up your files yet?
- CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Asbestos abatement has been done! Construction workers are preppping the classrooms for paint. Please let me know if they are noisy. I have an agreement with them that they will stop if you let me know about their noise.
- MORE TECHNOLOGY UPDATE: As I have previously mentioned in my last bulletin (Spring Break Edition), we are undergoing a wiring upgrade. Now that school is back in session, the contractors will be working in classrooms right after the bell rings at 2:39 and through the evening hours. I have also been informed that Rooms 707, 708, 709, 710, and 711 needs to be rewired completely so teachers in those buildings will lose Internet access for 3 days. As soon as the date is set, I will inform these teachers, so they can plan around not using the Internet.
