Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. We are quickly approaching the end of the first quarter. October 20 marks the end, grades will be due on October 25 at 8:00 am. Please make sure everything is current at that time. Deb and Amy will run the report cards and will mail them out that day. Ineligibility list will come from Mr. Formanek that day also. Remember, the quarter policy is that students must be passing four full time classes.
Thank you for the discussions you had on Wednesday regarding your assessments. I know the internet was down so groups were not able to work in their document. We will give you some additional time during our 2 hour in-service to work on that.
I'll be making an announcement this morning regarding video surveillance. We will be setting up temporary cameras to record parts of hallways that have some behaviors happening we do not want. It will also allow us to see who is accessing what restrooms at what time. I also ask that their is a presence in the hallways between classes. Also, if a student is repeatedly using the restroom during your class, ask them to use it between classes. If we start making students fill out their planners as we as use your sign out sheet, you will be able to see how frequently the student is leaving classes. That will give you a reason to deny.
We will have our last night of conferences on Tuesday night. If there is a parent you want to see, please call them and schedule a time. Don't wait to see if they will come on their own.
Monday we are kicking off the Junior Fundraiser for prom. We will be dismissing the Juniors at 9:30 to report to the Little Theater to start the sales program. They will be selling popcorn this year. This will spill into 3rd period, but we will try and get them back asap.
Enjoy your weekend!

Assistant Principal's Happenings
I hope everyone had a good night of Conferences. I did notice too many no-shows, I would recommend calling parents again to see if we can get a few more in on Tuesday. We were able to catch up on some IEP's during that time and will get some more next week as well. Please let me know if you have any parents that are concerned about anything so I can call them later if I am not available.
I finished up touching base with the Seniors with F's and will start checking on the other classes. Many of these kids are very close to passing and are missing a test or assignment that often makes a big difference. Please encourage students to get assignments turned in or come before or after school so they do not end up on the Ineligibility List.
I will also be starting the detentions for tardies this next week. We have 55 students that have 5 or more tardies in a single class and will have detention for these. Please make sure you are talking to these students about the expectation to be in class on time. We had two excuses in a row today for being late because of forgotten backpacks and one because she stayed up until 2 doing homework...
Have a great weekend!
