  Friday Focus Happy Friday!   I hope everyone has had a great week. Today is midterm of the 1st quarter. Please make sure all grades are up to date. Amy will run midterms and we will hand them out during 8th period.   I have had my first PASS plan turned in, congrats to Ms. Hommes to be the first one to get one done. Unfortuately is is for a senior that needs his credits. Next week is homecoming, let the fun begin. Monday night at 7:30 pm is the coronation. 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!...

    Friday Focus Happy Friday!   I hope everyone has had a great week. We have been seeing an increase of illness around the school. Please make sure you are taking care of yourself and if you need to stay home because you are sick, please do so. Don't worry about if you are covered, that is my job to figure it out.  The counselors will be taking our Juniors to Western Iowa Tech on October 29. All Juniors will attend, but it they miss the bus or don't want to participate they will be in class.  Homecoming is right around the corner. We will have our homecoming activities similar to last year, but hopefully leave off the fire alarms going off. Students will report to advisory, take attendance and then bring them to the competition gym when announced over the intercom. Students will sit with their grade. Please sit with the grade level you are a class sponsor for. Stu Co will be sending out more info on the games and how many students will be needed for ...

    Friday Focus Happy Friday! I hope everyone has had a great week. Adam and I were talking this week about the noticiable difference in this year's freshman class compared to last year. Hopefully we didn't jinx ourselves.  We have our first day of professional development on Wednesday. CIA will send out an agenda next week to let you know what to expect. Hopefully you have been working with your retrieval practice on the 4 power tools for the Science of Learning. If not, we will be having some spaced practice with some interleaving. See what I did there?  Midterm will be here before you know it, September 19. Please enter comments under Q1. Any student with a grade of D+ to F should have comments. Amy will run midterms on Monday morning after 8:30, so please have everything current.  This also would be a good time to start scheduling PASS Plan meetings. Parent Teacher Conferences are on Oct. 9 & 13. This would be a good time to schedule meetings with the p...
