Late Students - Please be sure you hold students accountable for being late to your class by issuing points.  Send students to the attendance office if they are late to first period.  The hallway is full of students after the bell rings to begin class.

Science and Social Studies NGA - The practice test for Science and Social Studies has been released by ODE.  I recommend all teacher look at the site and pay particular attention to the questioning techniques.  Click here for the link and be sure to bookmark the site.

Professional Development Schedule - On the top of this bulletin is a link to the 2014-2015 West Geauga Academy Professional Development opportunities.  The first two begin this week and will cover Google Classroom and readying students for high stakes online testing.  I hope to see you there.

SLO Review - Nancy Benincasa and I have already met with a couple departments and will eventually get to everyone.  Please be sure all of your SLO documents are loaded in the shared folder originally created by Sean Whelan.  Also, please bring your SLO pre-test scores with you to the meeting.  Here are the days we will meet with each department.  I will follow up with a schedule letting you know what period you will meet.

  • October 10 - World Languages
  • October 14 - Math
  • October 22 - Business, Tech Ed and Life Studies
