Week of June 9

 We've got lots happening over the next two and a half weeks - I am going to be brief but will ask you pay special attention to the two to-dos (nothing new) below. 

1. Testing This Week.  This is the first draft of the Regents Schedule. Please reach out to Liza if you have any scheduling conflicts.  Any student that is currently failing your class must come in each and every day that you have MP4 Potential Failures scheduled on your program.  Our SST will also be providing backup support to get kids into the building.  The kids will be called every day until they finish all required work to your satisfaction.


2. Communicate Regents Info.  Please refer to the Regents Schedule tabs (you'll see lists of kids by tests - look at the tabs).  These lists will also be hung in the hallways this week, but please make sure you are sending messages home and having face-to-face conversations with your students in classes so that they know which test they are supposed to go to for your classes.

8-12 Final Exams.  This week continues final exams for grades 8-12.  These will be in class final exams and will be the last performance grade of the year.  If you would like to offer something in place of a traditional final, please just shoot me and email or stop by 401 to share your plans.  

Room Pack Up.  To be ready for the summer, all staff are responsible for stowing and securing classroom technology and materials.  Additionally, any personal items are NOT secure over the summer.  So, if you value it, bring it home.  Otherwise you are welcome to roll the dice and put it in your closets.  As a reminder, we are a public school, and our rooms are used by other schools and programs during the summer.  They cannot be used to store private items.  So, please make sure anything that is yours and that you value is taken home.  You can slowly begin doing this over the next few weeks so that you don't find yourself stuck lugging out loads of stuff on the last day of school.  Stay tuned for the specific checklist in next week's blog post.

The Last Day of School.  The last day of school for students, teachers, and paraprofessionals is Thursday, June 26th.  However, the last day of school for all other staff (secretaries, social worker, and guidance counselors) is Monday, June 30th.  Please let Kiri & Annie know by the end of this week if you are planning to take the 27th or 30th off.  

Stepping Up and Graduation Assignments.  Our graduations and stepping up ceremonies are celebratory rites that the entire school enjoys. Our MS students and staff are expected to join both ceremonies, and all of our 8-12 staff will have specific assignments for that day.  Please remember to dress for our families and students' special day.  Stepping up is Monday, 23JUN and Graduation is Wednesday 25JUN.
