News you can use.....
- Students have completed 1199 classes so far this year.
- Karen M. will be moving to the elementary classroom for the next few weeks. As you have heard we have had to call the core team several times over the past few weeks and that was for one child. We are getting another elementary student on Monday who has been demonstrating even more severe behaviors than the one we have. With Taylor being pregnant we do not feel like it is the best position for her to be in so..... we had requested a long-term sub for the middle school because of their numbers. We are going to move Taylor to the middle school and Karen to the elementary and the long-term sub will be assigned to the English dept.
- Hilda will be testing tomorrow in 101. Please don't forget that if you have class in 101 you will need to move your students. A sign should be put on the door so that the students testing are not disturbed. MONDAY - Karen - combine with 110, Patrick move to 112, Michael and Tammy in Port 2, Tyler to Port 1: TUESDAY: Patrick (1st) move to 110, Patrick (2nd) move to Cafe North. If more moves are needed I will let you know.
- Don't forget if you want to provide your input on the online platform for next year you need to have reviewed both Pearson Connections and Edgenuity by the end of February.
