Happy Friday! It is graduation weekend! A big thank you to Beth Collins, Amy Davis, Amy Schmidt and Lisa Eisma for getting everything ready for graduation and the senior awards ceremony. Much of what they do is under a big time crunch since the awards program was moved to Wednesday night. Amy D. basically has the afternoon of Wednesday to finalize our top 10 percent and the other academic awards.  We will run advisory on the 21st and 29th. On the 29th, please have the students complete their S2 goal summary sheet. Also on the 29th, we will let students out at 3:15 to clean lockers. Please be outside your rooms and sign off on lockers. Make sure all tape has been removed and their is nothing left in the locker. For those of you near the middle school, please make sure our students don't go down there until the bell rings at 3:30. Neal and I will be floating around and will try to assist with that as well. Thank you for those responsible for organizing the retirement dinner Tue...

Happy Friday! I don't know where this week went, it seems we were just getting ready to start the week, now we are ending the week. Thank you for your work during our extra hour meeting. We do have our final one of the year this Wednesday. Reminder at 7:30 in the middle school auditorium on Wednesday there will be an insurance meeting. Our final district in-service day will be on May 16. We will meet in the high school library and will do our Iowa Assessment analysis. I will have you meet in department groups. Mrs. Hill is only able to order 5 test booklets of each grade level, so we are going to have to share tests. Math teachers will look at the math subtests, Science teachers will look at the science subtest, and everyone else will look at the reading subtests.  We are getting closer to the Seniors last day of school. Next week will be their last full week. Their final day will be on May 14 with semester tests on May 15 and 16. Reminder if you want Mr. Martin to proctor seni...
