A few pictures from Audrey from this week!

 

I wanted to share a nice publication created by Michelle Rothmeyer to highlight one of our YA students who is finding a ton of success.  Here's the link to the document.

Curriculum and Instruction

Please take a look at the infographic related to grading expectations. These were created to provide consistency in grading 6-12. Tammy Trzebiatowski is willing to answer any technology-related questions about grading. 

Week Ahead

Student Council Sponsored Halloween Events - Let's show our spirit and join in the fun!

10/30 PD Day - October 30th is listed as a teacher PD day. We have decided that the number one thing teachers need right now is time - so the day is yours for class, PLC, or department work.  We are going to be flexible on this day - you can work from home if you need to.

Dr. Nye Webex - Monday, October 26, 2:50-3:20 pm Dr. Nye would like to connect with the senior high on things related to teaching and learning during this pandemic.  The topics he plans to touch on are: 1) Thank you for your work to support learning in all formats, 2) Foreshadow adjustments based on your feedback, and 3) Get feedback on areas we're looking to improve.  It is optional to join along but please do so at the start of the meeting and stay as long as you would like.  You can join by entering dce.webex.com/meet/cyne in Cisco Webex Meetings.

Grading Period for Q1 - It is unbelievable that the grading period for quarter 1 is almost here.  All grades will have to be entered into Infinite Campus by the dates and times below so that parents can see them before conferences begin at 3pm on the 12th.   

• Q1 Grading Window will be open on Friday, October 30th.  Reminder students will see grades as soon as you post them. See screen shot below. If you have any issues with entering in grades please let me know. 
• Q1 ends on Friday, November 6th.

Parent-Teacher Conferences - Thursday, November 12th, and Monday, November 16th, are parent-teacher conferences from 3-6pm with a built-in 20-minute break each night. All teachers are expected to have conferences. There are a few shared teachers, coaches, etc. that may not be. If you haven’t already spoken to Dawn Seehafer about not being here, please do so asap. Parents will receive an email early this week with instructions and links to sign up for either a phone conference or a Webex conference during a 10-minute spot. Any questions, please see Dawn Seehafer.

Friday, November 13, is Cohort an "A" Schedule - Since there is no school on Monday, November 9th, (PD Day for grading) there will be an "A" schedule day on Friday, November 13th.  Please keep reminding your students of this.
