Announcements

Posse Semi-Finalists. Three of our seniors, Fatima Ejaz, Tiara Coleman, and Ana Marinez have been selected to advance to the Posse Foundation Semi-Finals. If you see them in the halls, please give them a big round of applause for their achievement thus far and wish them well on the next rounds.  Posse partner colleges and universities award Posse Scholars four-year, full-tuition leadership scholarships.  The transition to college is a huge one for all freshmen, but it is particularly challenging for students like ours. Posse identifies public high school students with extraordinary academic and leadership potential. Posse gives students the opportunity to pursue personal and academic excellence by placing them in supportive, multicultural teams— or Posses—of 10 students.   Wish Fatima, Tiara, and Ana the best of luck as they move ahead in this rigorous selection process!

Girls Inc After-School Launch. Girls Inc is kicking off this week with an amended after-school program on Monday,  18SEP17 from 2:50-4:00PM.  The after-school orientation for families will be held on Wednesday, 20SEP17 at 5PM. During your outreach calls on Tuesday, please inform parents that they are invited to come with their child to complete applications and learn more about our after-school programming. Please encourage our girls to get involved to explore their interests and take advantage of all the great programming offered them through Girls Inc to make them strong, smart, and bold!   Special Note:  Students cannot attend without a fully completed application packet. Students can get applications in the main office, and applications should be left in the Girls Inc mailbox in the main office. 

Things To Do This Week

Monday PD.  Like last week, we will begin meeting in our planning pairs at 3PM.  However, today, you will plan straight through to 4:20PM.  Please use this time to make sure this week's lessons, unit plans, and pacing calendars are complete and uploaded.  This is where we go to collect lessons and evaluate planning when we conduct your observations.  LDC Teachers, you need only provide me a link to your LDC collection and/or modules.
