Message from Mr. Lanier
Monday begins week five of the school year and students are starting to take summative assessments that measure their progress in their courses. This can lead to stress and anxiety in our students as their grades start to get posted to Infinite Campus. So what should we do if we see a grade that isn't where we want it to be? The most important thing to do is have an open and honest conversation with your student about the grade. Remind them that learning is a PROCESS and one grade does not mean that they are a failure or that they can't do it. One grade is just a snapshot of their learning at the time they took the assessment. The grade itself is simply a talking point for what the student knows and what they still need to learn. If a student can analyze what went wrong that is half the battle. The other half of the battle is developing a plan moving forward to attain the learning. This plan should include seeking support from their teachers and to plug into the support system that we have in place at Central (e.g. structured study hall and Zap Team). Most of the time grades will improve when a student gets organized and develops a plan on how and when to study. Finally, everyone needs to maintain a positive attitude with a focus on improvement. If you can establish this type of approach to learning, the grades will take care of themselves.
Let's have a great week of learning.
Tiger Up,
Mr. Lanier
October 8 from 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. in the main gym.
We are happy to partner with Jostens to provide our seniors with the opportunity to get an upgraded cap and gown picture for the yearbook and the end of the year graduation slideshow. Caps and gowns will be provided to students the day of the photo shoot to use in the picture. All seniors should plan to participate in this event. Students on campus will attend the event during their English class. Students who do not have an English class or who are off campus should come to the gym during their lunch or senior pass time.
