Week of October 19

We have a unique schedule this week due to fall conferences.  Today was an A day, Tuesday is a B day, and Wednesday is an intervention/enrichment day.  A cohort students attend in person on Monday.  B cohort students attend in person on Tuesday, and students participating in intervention and enrichment attend from 8:00-11:00 on Wednesday.  There is no school for students on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday, or Friday. 

Fall conferences are from 3:30-7:30 on Wednesday, October 21st and 8:00-3:30 on Thursday, October 22nd.  If you haven't done so already, please sign up for a conference with your student's teachers using this link.  Registration closes at 3:00 on Tuesday, October 20th. The link to the sign up page is also on our website.  All conferences will be held via Zoom.  At your designated time, please go to our website and click on the teacher's name to access their Zoom meeting.  You will enter the waiting room and the teacher will let you in.  The passcode for all conferences is LMS.  If you are unable to access Zoom, please email your student's teachers and they will call you.  Students are encouraged to participate in conferences.  If you'd like to visit with an administrator during conferences, please join our Zoom at either 10:30, 12:30, or 2:00 on Thursday, October 22nd.  

We have been offering support to students on their virtual days at Big Brothers Big Sisters. Due to some logistical constraints, we are moving that opportunity to the middle school.  Students can come in and work from 8:00-11:15 on their virtual days beginning on Monday, October 26th.  Busing will be available and students can grab a lunch to go if they want.  This is not a drop in opportunity.  Students must commit to attending on their virtual days for the remainder of the semester, or until we transition to Tier I, whichever comes first. If you are interested in this opportunity, please complete this form to sign up.   

Picture retakes are coming up on Monday, October 26th and Tuesday, October 27th.  A cohort students will have retakes on the 27th and B cohort students on the 28th. CBVI students can come in for retakes at 10:00 on Monday, October 26th.  If you missed picture day, or would like retakes, please go to mylifetouch.com to order.  Use picture day ID: EVT4K8VTB.  

Our grading norms allow late work to be submitted for the first 9 weeks with no penalty.  The first quarter ends on 10/16.  In light of our current circumstances, late work from the first 9 weeks will be accepted through the end of the day on Friday, October 30th.  Any missing assignments from the first quarter need to be completed by the end of the day on the 30th.  After that, they will not be accepted.  You can tell if your student is missing an assignment if it has a score of 0.  Assignments may also have a late or missing flag on them.  Students can receive extra help after school or on intervention days. 

If you'd like a yearbook from last year, please contact Donella in the main office.  We have a few left. Thank you for your continued support and feedback during these challenging times.  I hope you will all join us at conferences to celebrate your student's successes so far this year and to collaborate on ways to improve.
