Week of 21 February 2011

It is already Wednesday and I should have done this earlier in the week to remind everyone that Monday remained a Teacher Workday as originally scheduled but Tuesday became a Weather Make-up day from first semester (which date this is specifically making up I do not remember). The good news is it gives us one more day this semester to make sure we get through our curriculum.

Be on the lookout on Monday, February 28, for Interim Reports. Every student in all classes will be getting interim reports to bring home to parents, so keep your eyes open because they are on the way!

Speaking of on the way, this semester is well underway and everyone should be settled in to their courses. Students should know the expectations of the teachers and teachers should have 1) made clear their expectations, and 2) should have an idea of what to expect from their students. We had a little taste of warm weather last week and this past weekend, but we should not let it distract us from our goal here at school - academic success. It may take a little more effort to persevere but it is important that you keep up with the tasks asked of you, meet your deadlines, and don't let yourselves down. In the end, the results of your choices will be evidence of your level of commitment to excellence.
