Hello quarter 4.....

Welcome back from Spring Break and hello Quarter 4!  For seniors, this begins the countdown to graduation…. It’s going to be very important to stay on track academically and to fulfill the senior agreement in order to participate in the program on May 20^th.  If you or your son/daughter has any question(s) about the senior agreement or your current participation status, please be sure to clarify with one of the counselors, Ms. Asahi or myself.

Final thoughts before Spring Break.....

This is a 2 day week before we end 3^rd quarter and go on Spring Break!  Please be sure you’ve been communicating with your son or daughter’s teachers re: grades and assignments due before Tuesday.

The VidRoc launch went fabulously on Friday…. Here’s a link to the article in Saturday’s Garden Island newspaper.  Houston, we have liftoff!  We’re proud of not only the VidRoc kids but also the MTV3 crew and teacher Ms. Evens who worked tirelessly to bring the experience to everyone via the livestream.  If you haven’t had a chance to see the live broadcast, click here and watch the 16 minute broadcast.  The last few minutes are the actual liftoff that shows what it looks like from the rocket’s perspective.  Waimea HS- The Cube - Joyce Evens

Have a great week everyone! Enjoy your Spring Break… students do not return to school until Tuesday, March 29^th.

VidRoc launch, Performance Task at the lo'i, and Differentiation training.....

Teachers will have their 3^rd session with district staff on differentiation or how to make sure that every student in each class has the content delivered to them so they understand it.  Teachers have learned that there’s different ways to do this – by varying the amount of time given, by altering the classroom environment, to chunking the amount of work and when it’s due.  This is part of our on-going professional development to implement effective classroom instructional strategies to ensure every student is successful.

We have two groups of students who will be participating in field trips to Waimea Valley lo’I patches this week Tuesday and Friday.  They’re going to be asked to do a performance task that will integrate science, reading, writing, and math concepts; this project is being sponsored by Academy 21. 

Finally on Friday our VidRoc math students will be launching their rocket in Kekaha, starting approximately at 8:30 am.  We’re hoping to stream it live along with student commentary from VidRoc participants.  Garden Island newspaper will be sending a reporter to school this Wednesday to interview students; be sure to check the paper later this week for the story.

Have a great week everyone!
