PSATs:  Please find the schedule here:  https://docs.google.com/a/bristolk12.org/spreadsheets/d/1bzUUUGqEopCVexpwUPllOa7HscvdS6nhQJydsLcmEf8/edit#gid=105729832.    To celebrate how the PSAT can begin to open doors to colleges, we’re inviting all staff to wear their college gear (could be the college you  went to or the college you currently support!) on Wednesday.

Celebrate My Drive:  Celebrate my Drive begins on Wednesday!  Check out this great video some of our students made to explain the process--https://drive.google.com/a/bristolk12.org/file/d/0BzN181m5TS5HeURFSThmSXJJTUk/view

Please show the video Tuesday during homeroom or Thursday during homeroom.  Let’s work together to win $100,000 for Bristol Eastern High School.  I will be asking students to participate in Celebrate My Drive during homeroom each day.  Stop by the cafeteria on Friday.  Teens in the Driver’s Seat, advised by Kim Hazelton, will be receiving an award check for their efforts in promoting teen safe driving last year.  Kudos to that group!

Parent Conferences next week:  This is a great time to pause and have your students reflect on the year so far.  If they were writing the script for the conference, what would it entail?  Could they articulate their strengths, their areas for improvement?  Could they look through their notebooks and backpack and find their own work that demonstrates these strengths and areas to improve?  

Workroom/Tutoring Center:  We’re waiting on our chromebooks . . .
