Congratulations to Ms. Moumne's Computer Technology students who have completed their ICT CyberSecurity Essentials Certificates. Over 50 CAB students earned their ICT Certificates in December.

Beginning in January, DIT students will test for their CIW ICT Social Media Strategist Industry Certification. Also in January, Coding Fundamentals begins. Through a partnership with Code.org, students will learn the basics of problem solving, HTML, and JavaScript. Students will be able to choose their own topic for their webpage and can share with family and friends.

In Ms. Hall’s class, art students explored tempera paint and pastels while creating a final project on Henri Rousseau’s “The Sleeping Gypsy”. The group project involved the original image being divided into 4 pieces, with group members making decisions on how their composition would be handled collectively. While each piece was individually rendered, it may be displayed together as one image. In keeping with Rousseau’s background as an self- taught artist, students were given the opportunity to experiment with the media before being given a formal demonstration. This project highlights and celebrates the personal style of each student.

Teachers offer OAR for our students who would like to receive extra help in a subject. Students who have questions or need extra help outside of regular class time should plan to attend their teacher’s OAR during lunch.

OAR Schedule by subject:

Reading/Language Arts: Tuesday

Math: Wednesday

Science: Thursday

History: Friday
