News, Notes, and Reminders

Ugly Sweater/Cookie contest:  On Friday, don't forget to wear your ugly sweater!  We're also having a cookie contest.  Please bring your cookies to the library before school.  We'll have them available for eating (I mean, judging) there and in our office throughout the day.  Please come by--ugly sweater not required!

Holiday parties:  As we head into the holiday break, please be cognizant of our students’ differences and how they might respond to the upcoming vacation.  Be sure that any events plan are respectful of all of our students’ cultures and traditions.  In addition, if you do have food, know which of your students have allergies--I recommend steering clear of peanuts, eggs, and other common allergens.  Please give us notice if you will be having a holiday celebration with food.  We would also recommend store-bought food and drinks, only.

Midterm Exams:  Mid Term exam testing will start on Thursday, January 19 and end on Tuesday, January 24.  Cancellations due to weather will move this scenario up a day for each cancellation we incur.  Stay tuned for any further updates. 

Final Exam Exemption for seniors:    We shared the proposal to lower the final exam exemption from 93 to 90 with a 90 for quarter four at high school council last week.  BC will be sharing the proposal with their faculty and will let us know in January.

PSAT results are in:  We'll be sharing data out with faculty and you'll have your own student data to work with coming up in January.  If you are someone who likes looking at data and would like to contribute to planning how to best share/promote/analyze this data, email me!  I'd love to have you involved in planning how we will share the data with everyone.

Holiday Cards:   We'd love to see all of the little ones.  If you have an extra holiday card that features your loved ones, please leave one in our office and we'll create a display for everyone.
