Happy Mother's Day! 
 Today we celebrate the amazing folks in our lives who have mothered us through.  Whether this is our actual mother or mother figure, or it is a mentor or guide - today it the moment to appreciate those people!

As you do... take a moment to also reflect on who you may be mothering in your life. Students, children, fur babies, friends - mothering isn't something that is specifically gendered or biological. Rather, it describes a relationship of care, love, nurturing and firmth (that's firm warmth).  

Celebrate today, and taken in and appreciate both what you have received and what you give.   You're amazing! 

Today - I'm taking more own advice.  I am appreciating and celebrating today and this beautiful weather with my fam!  So short blogpost ;-). Go have a happy Sunday.

Announcements & To Dos

High Stress Times.  As we wrap up the end of the year, kids are coming face-to-face with the consequences of their decisions.  This coupled with their underdeveloped capacity to effectively manage stress or their emotions leads to even more bad decisions.

These next few weeks will be challenging.  Please make it a point to heighten your awareness of your students' needs.  Make it a point to check in with the students who are struggling in your class, and make sure that they know that you care enough to help them find a successful path to the end of the year.  Help them see where their strengths are, and help them understand how to leverage those strengths to course-correct and end the year in your class on a successful note.

In addition to checking in, please keep your classes highly structured, predictable, and with minimal down time.  Kids need the structures and routines to help shape their choices now more than ever.  Predictability and structures are ways to help them focus on productive choices. 



MP4 Log of Support.  Please continue to record your intervention and support by updating the  MP4 Log of Intervention and Support each week. Supports can be:
  • In-Class Supports:  1:1 Conferences, Individualized Assignments, Small Group Intervention, 
  • Advisor Academic 1:1 Coaching (regular grade checks and conferences about course progress)
  • Family Outreach: Calls Home, Texts of Progress (e.g. screenshot of grades), Emails home

Advisors:  For any advisee that is on the MP4 Log of Intervention and Support please make sure that you are meeting with them weekly. 

Please make this Log is updated.  We are meeting with families and students of matriculating students (8th & 12th) to discuss progress and potential ineligibility for graduation (and thus mandated summer school).  If there's not sufficient information in the Log, we won't have sufficient info to hold those meetings effectively.



Monday PD.  We will be continuing our work in our CEP groups.  This week we are working on Action Planning.  This process is rather long, so please be prepared to save time to work after school on Tuesday.  As you may recall, if we do use Tuesday time, you'll be able to put in 75min of per session for outreach time in exchange!

  1. <I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn’t get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $2000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $22,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don’t know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.

  2. <Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face. It’s hard to know how to get started. Trading the Crypto market has really been a life changer for me. I almost gave up on crypto currency at some point not until I got a proficient trader Bernie Doran, he gave me all the information required to succeed in trading. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I’m not here to converse much but to share my testimony, I invested $2000.00 and got back $21,500.00 within 5 days of investment. His strategies and signals are the best and I have gained more knowledge.
