D.C. Everest Senior High School Staff Update
Weekly Happenings
From time to time I get random phone calls or emails from parents that rave about our staff and our school - Thought I would share one from the past week about one of our colleagues - identifying information removed! Keep up the great work everyone!
"I wanted to take some time and let you all know what an amazing job the D C Everest Sr High is doing. I would like to extend an extra Thank you and appreciation to his content teacher. My son was struggling with content area, so he asked his teacher for help. Not only did the teacher take time to help him, but his teacher also thanked him for coming in for extra help. During a time when the world is so cruel and rude, I feel it is important to reach out and recognize the good. Thank you again to all the DC Everest staff for making my child feel important and like he belongs there. You are all amazing!!"

Scheduling Fair - We will be running a scheduling fair for Juniors on February 16 during advisory. Any Juniors needing clarification on which classes to take should report to the gymnasium to talk with a department representative about offerings. We will run the same fair on February 23 during advisory for sophomores. Department Chairs (or designee) please plan on attending during that time to answer any student questions, meaning you will need to send your advisory to a teacher partner, bring them with you to the gymnasium, or request a substitute for the time period. You will have a sign with your department heading for you to stand under.
Scheduling Process Tutorial - All new teachers to the building and anyone else interested should attend our scheduling process meeting at 2:50 in the IMC on February 1. This is a time change from last week - It is on Tuesday! Counselors and Jeff See will walk teachers through how to help students with the scheduling process.
Parent-Teacher Conferences - Our spring conferences are on Thursday, February 17th from 3-6:30 p.m. Parents will have the option to have an in-person, WebEx, or telephone conferences when signing up. Individualized parent emails will go out the first of February. All teachers are required to be in the building for conferences unless on the shared teacher list or have been approved by Mike.
ACT Prep Course - The ACT Prep Course is again being offered to all juniors free of charge in February. The practice test is Saturday, 2/7 with classes on Monday 2/7, 2/14 & 2/21. An IC blast and registration form was sent out last Thursday to all juniors and their parents.
