Testing, mid-quarter grades, summer programs, and workshop elective classes......

It's finally here.... SBAC testing begins this week for our juniors.  We're asking all students and staff to support our 11th graders over the next few weeks and to be patient and persistent through the process.

Teachers will begin inputting mid-quarter 4 grades this week.  I'm asking  teachers to submit the names of students who are in danger of not passing their class(es) this year as we need to start planning for summer credit recovery.  Last year we were able to offer this to students free of charge; this year I will have to charge $160 for a one-credit class which will be delivered on-line through e2020.  We should be sending out letters within the next few weeks to students and their parents.

Over the next two weeks, we will be meeting with students and sending letters home to parents of students who will be placed into a Reading and Writing Workshop class next school year.  They have been identified through their scores and grades as needing additional help and support to meet grade level standards.  These students will earn an elective credit for this class however, being placed in this class means they will not be taking an elective class they chose earlier.

Here's your announcements for this week:

Extending student learning....

Hello!

Hope you all had a restful Easter weekend with family and friends.  We’re starting the final stretch of the school year and get closer to graduation with each passing day.  This week Friday, students will have two opportunities to extend their learning beyond their classroom walls.  One group of students will be going to KCC to participate in mock job interviews with their faculty and staff and end with a campus tour of their various programs.   The other group will be participating in ClimbHI, a program sponsored by the Hawaii Tourism Bureau.  They will be spending the day at the Sheraton Kauai learning about the various career opportunities available in the hospitality industry.

Here’s your announcements; have a good week everyone.
