Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*Students creating memes to go along with the current unit to add some humor and creativity to what they have been learning.
*As students have been working on their course selection forms, I have continued to hear conversations between students and teachers about career/college aspirations and SO appreciate how some of you have really helped students to make course choices to help them with their goals!

*A student stood up for and reported a conversation that was culturally insensitive and offensive.
*While how the above incident started was a frustration this week, I won't let it overshadow the multiple moments of kindness I witnessed from our students this week: a student emailed another encouraging words of support to another student (something in the email triggered the flag for me to be able to see this), a high school student going out of her way to pick up another student for school because she knew she had missed a lot of school, a few students were scraping windshields of others' cars as the snow fell on Thursday.
Upcoming Events:
This Saturday - Wrestling Sectionals is taking place with the top wrestlers from 27 schools. We are NOT allowing spectators, but will be livestreaming on our Dodgeland Youtube channel. We ask that you NOT come into school on Saturday to not take the risk of anyone trying to sneak in the door with you.
Workout Wednesday - HS Faculty Meeting
Friday - Middle school Hat day for American Heart Association
Feb 15 - PD Day
Nuts & Bolts Notes:
*HS Course registration - we are still waiting on course registration forms to review in the office We originally planned for students to register in 4th hour starting on Monday, but we will NOT be ready for that quite yet. I plan for the information about that step to be a part of our Wednesday HS faculty meeting.
*Check out the latest referendum update HERE.
*Just a reminder of the expectations that were sent to students/parents about blended learning. Please let me know if you have a student not meeting the expectations and should be receiving a letter from the office. Better yet, email the student/parent and cc me...then both parent and I know at the same time (and we will still send out a letter).
Blogs, Quotes & Tweets:
*Ok, this one isn't a blog, but a video of inspiration...Be a Mr. Jensen! Do you see weaknesses or can you help students identify strengths?
