Continuing with performance based assessments and presentations.....

We’re continuing our Performance Based Assessments and presentations for students seeking the first-ever CTE recognition diploma being offered by the Department of Education.  This week students from Ms. Evens’ and Mr. Souza’s classes will be presenting their research and personal reflections about their learning before a panel of judges from the community. 

This week we’re also completing our analysis of student growth data over the year.  We will use this information to fill our 11th grade reading/writing workshop classes as well as our math workshop classes for 9th and 10th graders next year.  These will be elective classes that count towards graduation but will provide invaluable support for students who need a little extra help in making strides towards grade level proficiency.  We’re also using this data to determine which students may need summer school; counselors will be calling in students to speak with them individually about their options.  More information regarding summer school will be out within the next 2 weeks.

This week marks the halfway mark for quarter 4…. Please encourage your student to stay on top of each of his/her assignments and to be in classes daily, especially seniors! 

Have a great week everyone.
