Announcements
Field Trips, College Trips, and Halloween Fun. Last week was a busy one. UAI high school students were out and about on trips to the Rubin, the Met, and Hamilton. Our seniors visited Cornell University and caught up with Class of 2016 Alumna, Shavonnie Victor. And the 6th grade team brought it once again as the modern rendition of the all-female Ghost Busters for their themed Halloween. All in all it was a wonderful week of learning and fun!
Early Voting Last Thing. While Early Voting is over, we still do not have access to the cafeteria because they are changing over from the Early Voting Equipment to the Regular Election Day Equipment. Apparently, they're different? Because yeah - why streamline when you can make things 10 times more difficult in a bureaucracy? In any event, I am working hard with all of the constituencies (the mayor's office, the Board of Elections, School Facilities, etc) to make sure that our school gets OFF the list of elections sites for future voting. I'll keep you posted as we learn more. For Monday, we'll be running the last day of our Early Voting Breakfast/Lunch/After School Snack plan.
MP2, Student Led Conferences and Benchmarks Round 1. It's hard to believe that we are already in November. Before we know it, we'll be at the winter recess and the new year. Time is flying, so I do hope that means we're having fun. That said, we have some rapidly approaching deadlines
- Friday, 15NOV19. Next Friday, Marking Period 2 Ends. Student Report cards will have grades for both MP1 and MP2. Please make sure you have made successful contact to any student who failed your course for MP1 (or will fail) for MP2 so families are looped in and can be part of a plan of intervention and support. Grades for MP2 are due at 3PM on 20NOV19
- Thursday, 21NOV & 22NOV19. The following week, we will have our first round of benchmarks (see more on this below) and student led conferences (more below, too).
