Merry Christmas!

As I wrap up my first semester as your principal, I must tell you how grateful I am for each of you.  You are a blessing to me!  Thanks so much for your support and encouragement this year.

One quick work note: Check your email for our lesson plan schedule for next semester.  We're not going to submit plans until the week after we get back, so we have some time to iron out any questions you may have.

I hope you have a wonderful, safe, Christ-centered Christmas!

The Friday Memo

Happy Friday!

Hang in there - just one more week!

Just a couple of things to keep in mind as we head into exam week:

1. Please make sure that you keep the kids engaged in meaningful activities Monday - the natives are restless!

2. If you have students who are "on the bubble" (as Elisa Bowden likes to say!) please make sure that you have contacted the parents and made them aware of the situation.  Also, remember to document any such conversations.  It is best for everyone involved if we don't have any major grade surprises at the end of the term.  

3. I will send an email early next week outlining our lesson plan schedule for the second semester.  Don't worry - we're not going to reinvent the wheel!  I'm just going to get us on a regular schedule of submitting the plans.

Thanks, as always, for the outstanding job you do each day!

Have a great weekend! 

The Friday Memo

Happy Friday!

I hope everyone has had a good week!

Here are our announcements for this afternoon:

1. Please remember that lesson plans will be turned in on a regular basis beginning in January.
2. Let’s continue to keep our eyes open for any students who may be bullied at our school. We emphasized this a good deal as we began the year, but we still need to keep our eyes and ears open. Some problems seem to be occurring around lockers, so please encourage students to keep their lockers locked and keep their combination to themselves.
3. It is very important that we all remember to post grades every second and fourth Monday. Parents expect this, and our guidance office needs up-to-date information when working with our students who are on probation.
4. Please remember our K-12 faculty meeting in Willett Hall next Monday at 3:40.

Thanks, as always, for everything you do. Keep up the good work!

Have a great weekend!
