**Weekly Update** 11/20/20 Vol. 17
**Thanksgiving Holiday Break**
Hola Jaguars!
As many of us focus on being thankful during this upcoming week, I would like to share that I am personally grateful for the family that I get to spend time with and the job that I have. It is a privilege to serve as your Principal and I am thankful each and every day for the encounters that I have with our Jaguar front office, Teachers, Parents, and most importantly students!
Despite our remote settings, I have been able to see so many of you as I drop into classrooms alongside our amazing teachers! Please make sure that you check in with them and express your gratitude for their leadership and the extra mile they go to support our school.
Jaguars, I want to make sure that you use these upcoming days wisely and to set aside some time to organize your classwork, catch up on any outstanding assignments, finish college applications, and simply READ. Reading will always be the foundation for a rewarding life ahead. It will take you places you have never dreamed of. Lastly, make sure you take time to disconnect from the computer screen and digital devices. Take a moment to walk, run, and exercise during this holiday break. I look forward to seeing every Jaguar back on Monday, Nov.30th, 2020!

Embedded Assessments to work on during Thanksgiving Break...
Hello everyone!
Below are the screenshots of each of the Embedded Assessments each of the E.A.s are due on the last day of the grading period for each class.
You also have the Unit Test on the last day of instruction (either Thursday or Friday) before the grading period ends. It is open notes so if you took good notes during the lessons you should have all the answers.
Hope this helps!
Ms. Fuentes
Maestros and Ethnic Studies classes...
Hello,
I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to let you know what the final assignments are for the Maestros and Ethnic Studies classes. They are listed below.
Maestros
Students' final assignment for this class will be to create an action research project focused on identifying a service or support program our school site community needs and how that need can be met. We will work on this project from now until the end of the semester.
Ethnic Studies
Students will create a research paper in which they examine the causes of power systems and explain their effects on underrepresented communities in the United States. We will begin working on this project when we come back from the Thanksgiving break.
Feel free to contact me if you were to have any questions.
