Announcements & To Dos
Monday & Tuesday. MOST folks have graduation assignments on both days, but there are some folks with Regents assignments. Please make sure you are CHECKING your June Regents Schedule OFTEN! If you have any questions about graduation assignments, please see Annie. For Regents questions, please see Liza.
Final Grades Check. Thank you all for getting your grades in. There were some issues in getting them uploaded. But I figured them out! There were a lot of machinations and moving pieces to shoehorn them into STARS. This was my first time using interdisciplinary codes (ZJ codes). Never stop learning! Anyhoo - please take a look at your final grades. Please reach out to JJR or me if you need to make any changes. Any changes MUST be submitted no later than 1PM (via email) on Monday 24JUN. We're going to run the report cards and transcripts after HS graduation.
Last Day of School. The last day of school is Wednesday, 26JUN24.
- For Grades 6 & 7 - students report to their regular 1st and 2nd period classes. They can collect report cards, clean out lockers and help pack up materials for the summer. Students will be released to lunch as per usual at 10:15, but ALL students are welcome to leave at this point. All students will be formally released at 10:30AM.
- For Grades 8-12 - Wednesday is a Regents Day (so students are not officially in attendance). However, students should be coming in to pick up final report cards, transcripts, and diplomas. This is also the last chance students will have to clean out lockers. Anything left in lockers this summer will be thrown out. Please notify your students of this by posting a notice in your google classrooms. Students can come pick up anytime between 8:30-10:30. Here are the assigned rooms
- 8th Graders (Jelissa) - room 303
- 9th Graders (Noelle & Thomas) - together in Room 205C
- 10th Graders (Martine & Tom M) - together in Room 507
- 11th Graders (Elena & Tiffany) - together in Room 411
- 12th Graders (Freida, Patti, Jake, Patricia) - in Room 305
- Students can also pick up transcripts/diplomas any time from July 8th-July 31st from 8AM-12PM. Lockers MUST be cleaned out by June 26th. We begin clipping in the afternoon of the 26th, because we're going to do a full clean out of all the lockers this summer.
- Final staff meeting will be at 11AM in the farm. Please try to complete your list (see EOY Checklist) by 11AM. MS folks - if you need extra help, please reach out and we'll send some folks down to help you!
Year End To Dos.
- UAI Pacing Guides. All courses will need to be linked into THIS DOC using THIS TEMPLATE. The goal of cataloging your lessons for the year is to streamline capture the work that you've done for your classes this year in one place and to make the planning process for you (or whoever takes over the course next year) much more smooth. To maximize our collective improvement, we have to stop reinventing wheels. This is the first step! You do NOT need to rewrite anything. I'm just looking to take stock of what you did this year and put it all in one place. Your lessons do not need to be perfect. This is an organizational tool to help us expedite our improvement for next year!
PLEASE Make sure you link in your docs before the last day of school. You WILL be able to leave as soon as your checklist is signed off on and complete AND this is ON the checklist! - EOY Checklist. Make a Copy of the EOY Checklist for yourself. This is a comprehensive list of things you need to do prior to leaving on June 26th.
- As a reminder, students will be told to come to school at 8:30 and collect their report cards/transcripts no later than 10:30.
- We'll meet in the farm for our final staff meeting at 10:45AM. If your EOY checklist is complete and has signatures from everyrone, then it will be collected and you will be released for summer at 11AM. If not, you'll have to stay until you complete the list.
