We are
rapidly nearing the end of quarter 1.
Students’ mid-quarter reports have already gone out; if you have any
questions regarding your son’s/daughter’s grades please be sure to contact
their teacher this week. When I looked
at the preliminary reports, most students who are not doing well have missing
assignments and poor quiz or test scores.
Please encourage your student to be a self-directed learner and catch
up, stay on top of his/her work, and seek help from teachers.
This week
students will be taking a school climate survey during their Social Studies
class. This data will be used to update
our comprehensive needs assessment report from Spring 2015; we will also use
the information to assess areas of strength, concern, and the implications for
our practice. We will also be sending
teams of teachers to WASC accreditation training and to the Victoria Bernhardt
Data Training on Oahu. We’re building
our internal capacity by training more teachers in the gathering and interpretation
of data; everyone that we send will be a contributing writer for our upcoming
WASC visit in Spring 2017. It’s going to
take us most of this school year to go through the preliminary information
gathering and draft writing. Our
Thursday extended meeting will be dedicated to taking all of our teachers
through the first phase of this training.
Please
continue to come out to support and encourage our student athletes as they
compete this week in air riflery, bowling, cross-country and girls’ VB; the
football team has the week off and will resume again the following Saturday (Sept.
26) at Hanapepe Stadium.
Take care
and have a great week everyone!
