            Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a great week. The seniors are getting closer to graduation. I have several that are failing classes that are needed for graduation. I encouarage you to call home and talk to the parents to let them know what their student needs to get done to pass your class. I am also communicating with parents, but I can't tell them what needs to be done to pass. Seniors final day of class is May 10. They will take semester tests on May 13 and 14. On May 14 all tests need to be done by noon. Senior grades are due at 8:00 am on May 15. This is a hard deadline as Amy will need to run final awards for that night. All seniors will need to have 50 credits at this time or he/she will not be walking at graduation.  On May 7, Dr. Webner will be holding staff information meetings on the facility study and possible buildings. He will hold 2 meetings in the HS/MS complex that day, one from 7:40-8:00 am and another from 3:40...

           Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a great week. I am still on hold on the master schedule with 4 positions currently being advertised. I eventually will need to make some tough decisions on how we will cover classes if we don't get any applicants.  As we are getting 4th quarter going, remember today is the midterm and the last day to have had PASS Plans. Any student at risk of failing your class will need to have a meeting and the form will need to be turned into me so I can document the meeting. You all have access to the spreadsheet if you need to see if I have a form from a meeting you attended. Mrs. Davis will run midterm reports today to have you hand out to your 8th period class.  The seniors are getting closer to graduation.

          Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a great week. Looks like it will be nice and warm this weekend. We are getting closer to the end of the school year. I am kind of on hold with the master schedule to see what happens with our openings. If you have not heard, Alayna Bus will be leaving us to go to Central Lyon next school year. If you know of a FACS teachers, please encourage them to apply for our opening.  On Monday, the students will be taking the Conditions for Learning Survey during advisory. This survey no longer impacts our score on the Iowa Performance Profile. Please encourage the students to answer truthfully and to think of their whole experience and not a one time event. Mr. Kopperud will be getting you the student codes that they will need to log into the system. Their is a link to the survey on the high school website.

         Happy Friday! It has been a little bit since I have last written a Friday Focus, I almost spaced this one off also. I hope everyone had a great spring break and was able to enjoy some downtime. The Iverson's didn't do anything big, which was nice. We did enjoy some time with family.  As we are getting 4th quarter going, remember April 19 is the midterm and the last day to have had PASS Plans.
