This is a busy time for teachers and staff.  We’re begin to formulate our school’s  Academic and Financial Plan for next year, our teachers’ master schedule, our Title 1 Comprehensive Needs Analysis, and continue training and preparing for the upcoming SBAC tests.  We are also looking at other ways we can help to support student achievement through systemic changes at the school level.  All of these items are processed through our department heads/Academic Review Team and then our teachers and staff with the understanding that everything we do has to be what’s best for kids.  That sometimes means that changes have to/will be made that are not popular or are different from what has been the tradition in the past but in order to move ahead as a school to fully prepare our students for life after graduation, we will make those changes.

This past week a few classes were invited to a very last minute presentation by motivational speaker, Daryl "Sammy" Sampaga from the Big Island.  You may have seen the front page story in the Garden Island about Sammy’s message.  He was so well received by our students and staff that we are trying to find another date/time that he can return to WHS and address the rest of the school.  We will also be distributing flyers throughout the community about the Darwin Roadshow presentation that will be held at the gym on February 18^th by Duke University scientists.  Please bring your family for an evening of learning more about science and evolution in nature.

Have a great week everyone; here’s your announcements.
