Friday Focus

Happy Friday! It is our first 3 day weekend of the school year and officially week 1 of the college football season. I wish your team luck unless they are playing Oklahoma or if it is UT, nobody really likes the shorthorns anyway.  

Tuesday would be a good day to refresh your students on the classroom rules and procedures. The honeymoon phase this year is not near as long as it has been in the past, usually we can make it to homecoming. 

On September 16, during 3rd and 4th period, I will be administering the Civics Exams to 70+ seniors that have not taken this exam yet. This is a new state requirement for graduation. Students must earn a 60% or higher sometime during their 4 years in high school. Students will be taking this exam normally in government class their Junior year. Students can take it as many times as needed.

Homecoming and Parent Teacher Conferences will be here before you know it.

Assistant Principal's Happenings



1. I'm declaring that the "honeymoon" period for student behavior is officially winding down:). Keep enforcing the rules as you have been.  Expect that our students (especially 9th graders) will continue to test where the boundaries are.  This is normal behavior and right on schedule for this time of year.  Let me know how I can support you.

2.  If you don't have an emergency "packet" (the zippered folder) for your room, please let me know and I will purchase a few from Walmart.

3.  Please sign up for HoCo duties, here, by "commenting" in the slot you wish to serve.

Grateful for our team --

Moss

  Friday Focus Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. Please don't forget to grab lunch in the lounge today. This is just a small token of appreciation for all that you do.  Now is a dad brag: If you see Tessa, Sadie Meyer, Kinnick Leusink, and Claire Susemihl congratulate them for breaking the school and conference record in the shuttle hurdle relay.  It is hard to believe it is May 8 already and we only have 7 days of regular classes left. Mrs. Leavitt will be sending information out regarding summer professional development. We will post our QR codes by the mailboxes. You will have 15 hours again to learn about something that interests you and is applicable to your position.  Today is the last day for our Seniors. If they are not taking your semester test, please sign their checkout sheets today. Seniors will need to turn in their Chromebook to the library. Cody and/or Tracy will be in there to collect the computers. Seniors will take their semester tests...
