Admin/Guidance:  Year-End Wrap Up

News, Notes, and Reminders

Administrative responsibilities:  As you all know, Debbie's last day was Friday.  George Michna will now be working with students grades 9-11, A-K and will be working on AP and testing.

Our last day is almost here!   We have less than two full weeks of classes ahead of us. Please help us keep students positive and successful as we head into the end of the year by ensuring that the focus on learning and your classroom structures remain strong.  Please be a presence in our hallways during passing time.

Know where your students are:  We receive an annual reminder from our superintendent this time of year reminding us that it is critical that we know where our students are throughout the day.  Students must continue to have a pass or their planner when exiting the classroom.  You should also be having students sign out on a sheet in your classroom.

Classroom visitors:  Reiterating what Mr. Higgins sent via email last week--Visitors, such as former students, will not be permitted to classrooms or guidance offices unless the front office is notified that you are expecting a visitor during the school day.  We'd prefer that all guests visit after school hours.

BTEC Exams:  If you have students who head to BTEC after your class, please let them know that we've arranged their transportation so that it will arrive for them after their exams on 6/15 and 6/16.  The bus will be ready for them at 9:35am to bring them to BTEC.

Don't forget.  Don't forget to complete the end of year forms on-line.

PD for next year:  I believe the best PD we've offered has been informed, if not, led, by our teachers.  We do a TON of planning in the summer, and we'd love to have you join us so that we can have the best year yet next year.   I want to be sure that we include you if you're interested, so please complete this form with your interests.

Ramadan.  Please be mindful of students fasting during Ramadan, especially when you may be having a celebration with food in the next two weeks.  During lunch, our students who are fasting for Ramadan may go to the library.  Ramadan ends on the evening of June 24th.

Please be sure to let me know if you are having an end of year celebration with food.
