Happy Friday! Next week marks the end of the 19-20 school year. Thank you for all you have done this year and especially during this difficult time dealing with the pandemic. On Monday and Tuesday, we will have the students entering the school to clean out lockers and to turn in their books. Those of you working the doors will highlight students as they enter.  This will help us keep track of who does not show up.  The outside doors will remain locked and you will need to open the door to let the next group in.  At the doors, we will have tables positioned for students to put classroom books and computers on, there will be boxes for free reading books that belong to our English teachers, and boxes for music for Band, Choir, or Orchestra. We will also have hanging racks for tuxes or dress from the music department. Those that are working the senior door will need to check to make sure they filled out their post-secondary plan sheet. If they have not, we will have blank...

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Since I missed out on making lunch for all of you, I'll make sure I do that this fall when we start the school year. Thank you for all you have done this year and during this time when things have been anything but a normal end of the school year. I have had a chance to meet with every department but CTE and the Music staff. I'll meet with them today. It sounds like we are having fewer students accessing the enrichments. Just a reminder that we need to keep providing the enrichments so we can count these as school days under the voluntary enrichment plan.  In the next few weeks Kyle and I will be brainstorming many "what if's" for how next year could start or how it could look. I am kind of superstitious, so if I have plans for scenarios, we won't need them and we will have a normal start.  I am going to cancel our department meetings for the week of May 18 and schedule a large all staff meeting for May 22. I thi...

Happy Friday, and Happy May Day, I be at home waiting for all those May Day baskets to be left at my doorstep. Do kids even do that anymore? I remember doing this throughout my childhood.  I really don't have many updates to give this week. Kyle and I went through the student lockers and pulled textbooks and reading books we could identify belonged to the school. We placed these materials in the commons. If you want to stop in and see if any of the materials are yours, please just let me know so we don't have more than 10 at school at a time.  Dr. Webner sent an email regarding PPE and students coming to get their items and turn our stuff in. Since we will be around the students, please wear a mask. Again, the school will not be providing these as our's are being reserved for the medical community.  Please don't forget to sign up for a time to help with students coming in to get their items from lockers and a time to get into your room to get it ready for the su...
