Announcements
March is Women's History Month. We are continuing our month of Celebrating Herstory through a door decoration. Already doors on the 4th floor are starting to take shape as girls are taking charge to decorate under the leadership of their classroom teachers. It seems like a little thing, decorating a door. However, the collective effort leads to a broader sense of community which brings pride to our school and our girls!
5th Marking Period Begins on Monday. Final grades for the 4th MP are due on Wednesday, 18MAR15 at 3PM. These report cards will be distributed on Friday durinThe 5th MP is the longest and most important marking period of the year. As an annualized school, this is the last marking period that our girls have to catch up and overcome past mistakes. The 6th Marking period is super short with only a few weeks in May and only a few days in June. So this is it!
It's time for SLCs. Next Thursday and Friday are our Spring Student Led Conferences. Officially, SLCs are Thursday night 5-8PM and Friday afternoon 12:00-2:40PM. However, as per usual, you can flexibly use these 5+ hours however you want to schedule the meetings. If you haven't done so already, you should start scheduling those appointments this week. Please enter those appointments into THIS APPOINTMENT sheet. Please take a moment to read the tab that says READ ME FIRST. There are a couple of added to-dos on the list for the SLCs this time around. You may also want to use this CHECKLIST to help facilitate your conferences. Grade teams may have their own student reflection sheet and or methods for appointment setting. Please check in with your grade team leaders.

Pi Day Success!! Many thanks and a big shout out to our amazing UAIHS Math Team! They pulled together a great day for our girls. The girls were excited and highly engaged in a fun math competition that had them working together, asking questions, and participating in a little healthy competition. Thanks again Team Math!
