This is a short week with Veteran’s Day right in the middle…. Please take
a few moments to thank a veteran or someone currently in the military for their
service.
Last week’s Schools of the Future Conference was an awesome experience
for the 10 Waimea HS staff members who attended. We had an opportunity to learn about some of
the latest technology available to help increase student achievement – from
cool (and free) mobile apps that can be downloaded to our devices on campus to
wearable technology that truly extends classroom walls. Our department heads/leadership team will be
working together to see how we can apply what we’ve just learned in our
classrooms here….. pretty exciting stuff!
Our three staff members who attended the Victoria Bernhardt data
training had an opportunity to begin writing our school’s Comprehensive Needs
Analysis, which looks at our four types of data – demographic, perception,
programs/processes, and student achievement.
This is going to help us to write our Academic Plan for next year and to
prepare for our WASC visit in Spring 2017.
This week Friday we will be sending a team of students and staff to
Chiefess Kamakahelei MS to do our ‘Discover Waimea’ presentation to their 8th
graders who live in Kalaheo…. With the ultimate goal of encouraging them to
come west for high school. Although we
had a small turnout at our Kalaheo School night event last Thursday, it was
good opportunity for our students to practice their public speaking skills as
the audience went through their various exhibits.
