Week of 1 March 2010

Amazing that March is already here. Just to keep you updated on a few things. Thursday there will be a fire drill at 8:35 - during 1st period. Dress appropriately. Also, the 3rd quarter will be ending on March 26. It seems like a far way off, but it the four weeks will be over before we know it. Make sure to keep up with work AND make-up work.

A Few New Things

There a couple of new things added to the website, primarily on this home page. On the left are a few relevant links to history and the school, while on the right is a link to download Adobe Acrobat Reader - a necessary program to properly open documents used in class.

Coming Soon!!

Just a reminder of a couple of things:

1) Winterfest Dance will be this Saturday, February 20, at Leesville Road High School. If you plan on attending, please make sure you have the proper identification for you and your guest.

2) Interim Report will be distributed on Monday, February 22. Every student will receive one. It should be signed and returned.

Week of 15 February 2010

Although we are not experiencing any inclement weather weather so far this week, we are still feeling the effects of weather days gone by. This Monday, February 15, was originally scheduled to be a Teacher Workday. Due to the weather and having the day off on February 1, we are making the school day up this Monday. Also, as a precaution, the snow that fell Friday and the ensuing cold temperature gave the County cause to cancel any events that were to take place over the weekend. As a result, this past Saturday's scheduled Winterfest Dance has been postponed until this coming Saturday, February 20.

In addition, I am working on embedding a calendar on the front page of the website that will include updates for all three classes as well as updates on the school calendar. I will let you know when it is up and functioning.

Weathery Weekend

Looks like the threat of weather has given the county cause to be cautious and require all schools to cancel/postpone weekend activities. As a result, this weekend's Winterfest Dance has been postponed one week until Saturday, February 20. It doesn't look like the weather we will receive will cause any interruptions to school on Monday, but IF it does, I will post here and on twitter the updates to our schedule. Just remember, if we miss any more days due to weather, the county will continue to take more and more days away from Spring Break.

Week of 1 February 2010

So this week has almost been an entire wash out. Hopefully we will be able to salvage a couple of days at least. According to Mr. Lyons, if school is to be held on Thursday, and I cannot see why it would not, and if after school activities are to be normally conducted, then Open House will proceed as originally scheduled. I look forward to seeing the students and parent tomorrow - during our unplanned "short week".
