Dear Students and Parents,
Congratulations Band and Choir students for a great concert last week!
Reminder - Optional Standards-Based Reporting Parent Presentation Next Week
The coffee will take place on Wednesday, December 13th, in the BBT from 8:45 - 10:00 am. The High School administration will present the first informational session in a series of four regarding the High School’s move to Standards-Based Reporting in 2018/19. This session will share an overview of the changes to be expected and the rationale for the shift. Additional sessions will be offered in the next semester to share, in more detail, about each aspect associated with the shift.
Upcoming Semester Exams - Reminders - Final Reminder
Believe it or not, the semester is quickly coming to a close. Please note that exam revision will begin on Monday, December 11th. During this week there will be no new material presented in class and no summative assessments. Students should use this time to complete their alternative final assessments and review for their written examinations.
We will host our farewell assembly the morning of Friday, December 15th and this will be followed by a quiet revision period for all students. That afternoon we will run one session of written exams. December 15 - December 21 exam schedule here.
During the week of December 18th students need only be on campus during their exams. We will allow all students to come and go from campus unless individual parents indicate otherwise about their children. Students who choose to remain on campus to study must be respectful of the revision needs of others. The library is reserved for silent study. The iHub and HS Commons is reserved for quiet group revision and break time socializing. Students who are disruptive to others or found not to be using their revision time wisely will have their parents notified and will be asked to leave campus.
Next Early Release Wednesday - Repeat Announcement
A quick reminder that Wednesday, December 13th, will be our next Early Release Wednesday. Students are expected to depart campus in a timely and organized fashion upon dismissal at 2:00 pm. We appreciate your patience with traffic on these days as all three sections are picking up students at the same time. In preparation, please plan on allowing longer time for entry and exit to the school at release time. For our Middle and High School students, hot lunch will be served.
At the request of the student advisory forum, the iHub will remain open until 2:30 pm as an air conditioned place for high school students to wait for drivers. Please note that food service will continue to close at 2:10 pm.
Joelle Basnight
High School Principal
