Google and math training plus a visit by the CAS this week.....

Just repeating a reminder from last week (because it's super important) --- the second quarter is a shorter than the others with several holidays breaking up the school weeks.  Please remind your student to stay on top of his or her assignments, including AR reading for all English classes AND Achieve3000 articles for all classes (except math).  These are school wide expectations for all students as research shows that students who read well perform better and have great success.  In reviewing student grades for quarter 1, I noticed that most students who completed their AR and Achieve articles are not only doing well in class, they’re also showing growth in their Lexile levels.  We are trying to push all of our students to reach 1185 Lexile by the time they graduate as that is the mark for being college, career and community ready.  Where is your student at in relationship to that mark?That’s a good conversation to have with him or her.

We're beginning to organize teachers, staff, and students/parents for our accreditation visit next Spring 2017.   Everyone is assigned to two groups -- a Home Group, which is their department, and a Focus Group, which will focus on instruction, curriculum, or assessment. This week, I'm also going to start working with classes who will be our focus groups for the student voice in our report.  We'll be sending out invitations to parents to also participate and contribute their insight -- please be on the lookout for those notices.

Finally, congratulations to our student athletes who have qualified for state competition!
  • the girls' air riflery team, who took KIF champs, and individual qualifier Keane Caberto. 
  • from the bowling team, Daleijah Campos-Banasihan and Kailen Pablo-Otoman, who took the girls' and boys' individual KIF titles
  • from the boys' cross country team -- Devon Hartsell, Marcus Pereira, and Kekoa Kimata-Lopez

Have a good week everyone.
