Week of March 31st
I hope everyone enjoyed spring break. As we return to school, we are in the final push of the second semester. Friday is a grading day for teachers as they prepare the third quarter grades and then the next Monday, April 7 is a planning day for teachers to prepare for the final quarter. This spring will also mark milestones for seniors as they prepare to graduate. Tomorrow, April 1 is the beginning of the 60 day rule for seniors. In a senior meeting before spring break, they were informed of the rule that states that they be excluded from the graduation ceremony if they have a serious disciplinary incident as defined by the PPS Student Rights and Responsibility Handbook. If you have any questions regarding this rule, please reach out to me or any one of the vice principals, Sean Murray or Danielle Cota.
As you have heard earlier in the year, PPS faces a budget shortfall for the next school year of $40 million which will impact staffing in the district. Cleveland is maintaining its current enrollment of approximately 1400 students, and we will be maintaining our staff numbers for next year. I am grateful for the work our staff does to support our students and am happy to keep our staff numbers where they are.
Become a morning campus greeter and make a difference in our students' day. We're looking for friendly volunteers to welcome students and direct visitors to the main office between 8:45 am and 10:15 am. You can choose to volunteer just one day a month or once a week - whatever fits your schedule! It's a great way to get involved and contribute to our school community.

IB Exam Season is coming soon and we need volunteers to help us proctor. Beginning in late April and running for 3 weeks, the IB exams are held both at Cleveland and off site at the Melody Event Center on SE Alder St. We need a large number of volunteers to ensure fidelity to the IB's process, and even one shift is helpful! Please consider getting approved as a volunteer now so you can answer the call when we share the sign up in the next few weeks! Please email IB Assistant Nick Muncie-Jarvis if you are able to help! nmunciejarvis@pps.net
March and April are the heart of scholarship "season". There are so many local and national scholarship opportunities, and we have links in the senior OSAC/ graduation slides, as well as our College and Career website. Also, our CHS counselor-curated an All Things College document as a great reference place for seniors and families. Take the time to review it. When reviewing the scholarship section check-out all the opportunities to earn some college and trade-school money! Pro tip: Make sure to pay close attention to deadlines!
