Great Things I Noticed this Week:
*We have had several new students at both middle and high school that do not speak English and several of our students have been welcoming and either helping to translate, or introducing themself trying to talk in the few Spanish words they knew to introduce themselves.
*Our NHS students did a great job of planning, organizing and running the blood drive this week (as they always do)!
*This week was 4 year planning and beginning the course selection process with 8th graders. This is such an exciting time for them, filled with great conversations about their future. It is always so enjoyable to connect with them, not just in their advisories, but also at lunch and other times of the day when they are asking questions and talking about their future planning. Thank you in advance to all of you for connecting with students as they consider their options and get guidance from you as we help them be as best prepared as possible for whatever may be in their future!
*Great brainstorming and suggestions made to help improve our course introduction and course selection process at the high school...it gets better every year!

"Nuts & Bolts" Notes:
*Do you have anything that I can add to the next parent newsletter? Pictures of past classroom activities (even if you were going to share with Mr. Kjornes for Facebook)? Info about upcoming events? Please send my way!
*Students with Incompletes will have until this Friday, January 28th (unless there is an extenuating circumstance that I already know for a few of our students). Please use the grade change form that Laura emailed out. This grade change form should also be used if you have a student reassessing after grades were stored.
*HS advisors - we will have everything on Monday for you to be ready for Tuesday's advisory
*Here's the HS IEB Doc for next week: Advisory/IEB Week of Jan 24
