Important Information
Academic Support Forms - Be sure to complete academic support forms for struggling students. All procedures for completing the form can be found on the Academic Support Forms link found at the top of this page or by clicking here.
NHS Survey - All teachers need to complete the NHS survey. Please see Mr. Rader's email and complete it by February 27th. Thanks.
ACT - Thank you to everyone that attended Sarah Widman's meeting on Thursday to cover the ACT proctoring information. Please see Sarah if you missed the meeting. All teachers need to remind juniors of their requirement to be at school by 7:20 on Tuesday for the test. Please wish our juniors the best and remind them to get a good night's sleep and eat well before arriving for the test. Thank you.
AIR and AP Assessments - In eight weeks our students will sit for the AIR tests, and in ten weeks the AP exams will be given. We are all collecting data on our students and it is important to use this information to identify students who are not working up to expectations. Interventions need to be planned during PLC and/or data meetings so all students can be successful with the exams. Implementation of these plans may look different for each of your students. Finding the right intervention is important and necessary. If additional time is required, please communicate this with parents and devise a plan that works for your families and you.
Gymnastics - Be sure to congratulate Ali Ange on qualifying for OHSAA's State Gymnastics Meet. Ali will complete at the end of the week in the All-Around and Floor events. Great job to Coach Gina Javorek on her work to get Ali to the big meet. We will have a clap-out for Ali at the end of the school day on Thursday.
