News and Reminders

Grading.  We're noticing more blanks in grade books again.  In order for our students and families to have the most accurate picture of what the students' grades are, you need to enter grades for all assignments.  Do not leave items blank if they are missing.  Enter the grade they'd receive for the assignment if they have not done it. Do not wait until the end of the progress reporting period. This is also a friendly reminder that you need to update your grade books every 10 days. 

CABE Student Leadership Award.  Please send me the names of students who you feel meet the following criteria:  willingness to take on challenges, capability to make difficult decisions, concern for others, ability to work with others, willingness to commit to a project, diplomacy, ability to understand issues clearly, ability to honor commitment.  I'll need a sentence or two describing how the students meet this criteria.  They can be recognized this spring at a Board of Education with recognition by our Board Chair on behalf of the Boards of Education across the state.  Please send this to me by Friday, March 11.

Attendance.  Please remember to take attendance at the end of first block but the beginning of all remaining blocks.

Duty changes. If you've made any changes to your duties, particularly if you have switched rooms or times with a partner during the block, please be sure we know so we can plan substitute coverage when needed.
