Happy Friday! I hope everyone takes that last big breath before we get this year kicked off. I have included the plan for the 3 teacher in-service days as we start this year. My goal is to give you as much time as possible in your rooms to plan and prepare for this year. I have updated my website for this year, but haven't given access to the files yet because I don't want you thinking that much about our meetings yet. Enjoy the last few days of summer. 

I have been asked about seating charts and if you need to put the kids in alphabetical order. You will want to have seating charts of some type and on days that kids are doing a lab or some group activity, you will want to document who the student worked with. This will assist if we need to do contact tracing on the students. Who thought we would ever have to do contact tracing?

We are working on finalizing the list of students who will do remote learning to start the year off with. These students will be on Edmentum taking courses. If a student is on an IEP and chooses this route, we will need to have an IEP meeting to amend the IEP. All IEP services will be offered in the school, we are not sending people into houses. We legally can say when and where these services will happen. 

Remember, when ever anything new is attempted, it will not always go the way we want or imagined. That is ok, we will make changes and adaptions. To use a cliche, FAIL means First Attempt In Learning, and we are all learning this year. 

I am going to insist that we are all tough on the mask policy. Mask must be worn all all times in the building except when eating lunch for students and when you are working in your room by yourself or when we can distance in a department or staff meeting. If we can not meet the distance requirement, then we will need to wear the mask. I will need to approve any classes going outside to hold class. If you are able to social distance outside and I approve it, students may take off their mask.

  Friday Focus  Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week.  On Monday, I attended a DCAP workshop. You may be asking what is a DCAP workshop? DCAP is our District Career Academic Plan. Just like the student ICAP, Individual Career Academic Plan, the district must have one also. In the DCAP, we spell out what we are doing to prepare our students for college career readiness and employability skills. The DCAP consists of 7 sections, the main sections deal with course planning, work-based learning, and 5 essential components of ICAP.  The course planning section deals with the students 4 year plan and how the students and parents are advised on progress towards graduation. This is why we have the grade level registration meetings, our 8th grade CTE day, 8th grade parent meeting, etc so we can meet this requirement.  I am sure by this point, you are asking yourself how does this apply to me? This gets us into the next few sections with what we do in class matte...

  Friday Focus Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. We made it through graduation breakfast, practice, and award night. I was thinking that Wednesday is just as about as busy of a day as the Friday of homecoming for me.  This will be the last Friday Focus for the school year, so I'll try to remember to have everything you need to know to get through the last week of classes. Please remember contracts are due to Central Office on the 23rd. I do have a basket on my desk where you can turn it into me and I'll get it to Central Office.   We will be running the advisory schedule on Monday. On Tuesday, we will use the last day of school schedule. On the last day of classes students will be checking out. Please sign their check out sheets. If they have school property that needs to be returned, please document it on the sheet. During advisory that day, they will turn in their laptops. Please look at each laptop and make them turn it on for you. If there is any da...

Come out to the competition gym to see who will be crowned this year's King and Queen.  On Monday, we will have class meetings so students can sign up for the different competitions. Freshmen will be in the Little Theater, Sophomores in the Library, Juniors in the Commons, and Seniors in the Competition Gym. Teachers with the asterick by their name in the Teacher Handbook are the lead teachers and will need to take charge of these meetings.  Dress up days for Homecoming Week. YOU CAN PARTICIPATE!...
