Weekly Happenings
Below are pictures of the students attending the Sports and Entertainment Marketing conference in Green Bay last week! Good work by Jodi Peterson in getting our students these experiences!
Key Club ringing Bells - Well on their way to surpassing their $1300 raised last year for the Salvation Army! Great job Megan Ackley and Julie Rice in making it happen!
Congratulations to our National Honor Society Inductees as well as the 2020 inductees who also attended last week's ceremony! So many examples of living our school values through these student's great efforts and service to their school and community! Thank you Ann Geier for organizing the event and thank you to the NHS teacher committee for reviewing all of the applications to make it happen!
Announcements/Week Ahead
New Learning Advocates - We are happy to announce that there are two new learning advocates in the high school. Former DCE teacher Greg Peterson and former Tomahawk teacher Garth Gerstenberger.
Greg is stationed behind the Social Studies Resource Center Rm 323 - ext. 4353 - and is focused on contacting all students placed on REM to help remove any barriers that may exist. Garth is in the Math Resource Room 227 - ext 4227 and is spending his time giving math specific support to any student as well as connecting with REM students through Webex working on Math.
Please access either one of these gentlemen if you need support with a student.
Updates from Sunshine:
BLT Update: The Building Leadership Team (BLT) comprised of a representative teacher from each department, addressed two topics last Wednesday. The first was to reinstate the ending bell. The BLT originally decided to keep the soft release to start the year but the feedback as of late suggests there has been too many distractions in the hallways due to soft release. Therefore on Tuesday of this week we will reinstitute the ending bell. All teachers are expected to keep students until the bell rings for each period - meaning students will have a 5 minute passing time. Please front load this change with your students in your classes on Monday. I will also make an announcement on Monday and Tuesday morning.
Secondly, BLT members have asked that we continue to discuss current grading practices in an effort to bring more consistency and accuracy across the building. Your BLT member will keep you updated on the conversation throughout the coming months and likely ask for your input.
