Week of January 15th

This week begins for students on Tuesday, January 15th.  Staff are busy with professional development on Monday.  Our schedule for the week will be odd, even, all, all as we move towards the end of the semester on Friday.

Students will start their second semester schedules on Monday, January 22nd.  Students received their schedules last week during lunch.  If students have any questions or concerns regarding their second semester schedules, they should talk to their counselor this week.  Students who misplaced their schedules should be able to find them in Powerschool. All first semester work needs to be handed in by the end of the day on Friday.  Teachers will finalize grades next week and report cards will be mailed out on the 26th.  First semester honor roll will be released the week of the 29th.

As the fall semester ends, it's important to maintain the great momentum and motivation we've been building since the first day of school.  It can be tempting to lose perspective as we grind our way through those cold winter mornings and dark, windy nights.  We are our great school with awesome students, staff, and families.  Acknowledging that is important.  But just as important is working to get a little bit better every day, week, and month.  We hope to be better teachers, students, friends, athletes, and colleagues on the last day of school than the first.  The only way to accomplish that goal is to examine what we do well and identify what we can improve on.  Seeking improvement doesn't mean we are failing, it just means we want to be better.  We thank you for sharing your students with us during the first semester and for your support.  We ask for your continued involvement and support as we work together to make the second semester even better than the first.
