*Students returning to in person learning after being virtual only 1st semester...with smiles beaming through the masks happy to be back in their Dodgeland home!
*A class discussion digging into what it's like to be in the minority (both in numbers and power) and a student spoke up about their personal experiences.
*Students writing about their dreams for America.
*Academic Pentathlon placed 5th out of 49 teams!
Upcoming Events:
Workout Wednesday
Thursday - 1 hour delay schedule for Advisory (emails will be sent out with further details this weekend)
Friday - it's 2 weeks into the semester...do you have enough information about your students to enter a proficiency rating for work habits/employability skills? Whether your class is new or returning for you, you already know how they're coming to class, behaving, etc. Share that feedback with students/parents in powerschool now. :)
"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Students with an Incomplete have until January 29th. Please use the grade change form that Laura emailed out.
*Just a reminder of the expectations that were sent to students/parents about blended learning. 2nd semester means students start over on their absences for truancy and the office is already sending out attendance letters. However, if a student is present online, but not engaging, it is tricker for us to address. At the end of each week I will be emailing out a reminder to you for you to let me know if you have any students NOT meeting blended learning expectations for your class. The expectation that is the most concrete for you to let me know about is:
Determining adequate progress:
If the student does not submit the expected number of assignments within a five (5) day period, the student and his or her parents will be notified of this unacceptable progress for submitting assignments.
If the student does not respond to the notification by submitting assignments within five (5) days, the teacher will notify the student again.
If after the second warning, the student does not respond by submitting assignments, the District will assume that the student does not intend to remain in the blended learning environment and will need to return to the in-person learning environment. In other words, failure to submit assignments in a timely manner will result in removal from the blended learning environment.
*For your awareness, this reminder letter was sent out to parents yesterday regarding cold/flu/COVID symptoms: Parent Letter
