AP Release in May: AP teachers - As has been past practice, students who completed Summer Homework may be released from their AP class beginning on Monday, May 16th. If the student did not complete Summer homework they are required to attend. Also, please let your students know that release from class means they are leaving the building, signing into the IMC, or reporting to your classroom. They may not wander around the building during their release.
Fall Sports Signup Thursday, April 28th during ELT: Please do not plan other club meetings or activities.
Aspire Testing - Thank you to everyone who helped in making Aspire testing go well! Specific shout out to Jodi Devine for all of her organizing and leadership associated with the day! Also Joey and Terese for their tech support throughout the entire morning!
Team DCE Green Staff Shirts: I have been told that there continues to be district officials on the look out for staff wearing their green Team DCE shirts on Friday - Just reminding you that if you are spotted wearing one there may be a sugary treat coming your way.
Senior Teachers - Parade of Graduates - If you teach Seniors please plan on being apart of the Parade of Graduates on the 25th from 9-11 and Graduation practice from 12:15 - 2. More information to come!
Staffing Updates: We interviewed for our open counselor position last week. We hope to make an offer on Monday. You may have seen a one year English posting come out. This posting is to replace Heather Winkleman who will be taking a one year leave of absence next year. Mike Mathies' At-Risk position was also posted last week. As those positions are filled I will let you know.
Car Show - On the afternoon of Wednesday, April 27 students in our Autos classes throughout the year will show their work in our second annual Car Show. This year, we have partnered with Wooster's Garage who will be bringing in a number of collector cars to add to the show. I would ask that staff on Wednesday plan to park on Student Council Drive and up and down the back parking lot, keeping the lot closest to our tech. ed. garages open for the show.
