Friday Focus - May 28, 2021

 



Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*Getting to see our band out marching in preparation for the Memorial Day parades.
*Incredible student leaders presenting at the FFA banquet.
*Several end of semester projects in different courses for students to demonstrate their learning in different ways - presentations, recorded videos, paintings, posters, etc. I also noticed the accommodation of students with anxiety about presenting in front of the entire class allowed to do so after school for just a couple. 
*After reflecting on their year, students wrote an email to their future selves of what they want to remember next year as a goal for themselves.  They sent the email to themself, but instead of hitting send, they tapped the three dots on the top right to select "schedule send" and scheduled it for the first week of school next year. (Makes me want to email my future self!)
*Several adults (including me) tried to brainstorm a graduation detail (how to get each grad's signs to stay up in their parking lot square). Between multiple brains, we invested a lot of time brainstorming. The problem was shown to a student who solved it in seconds. I laughed so hard I cried at how simple the solution was. Sometimes we just overthink things! :)

2:00pm Graduation Rehearsal - rain or shine
6:00pm Graduation

Monday, June 6th - Grades must be finalized by noon. *I heard your concerns about finalizing grades by Friday with the pressure of having to pack up for the summer. We can give you some extra time, but do need to get report cards printing that afternoon. 

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Have you filled out the key inventory form yet? We need you to complete this form about your keys if you haven't yet. 
*Turning in iPads takes quite a bit of time. We've decided it will be very helpful to take care of these first four steps ahead of turn in time:












HERE is the full list for iPad Turn in Procedures.

*Summer - Please don't hesitate to reach out to me over the summer. I have no idea where I will physically be in the building due to renovation, but you can reach me on my cell or email.
