November 13 - 17

        

 Weekly Happenings

Super cool activity this past week. Weston Elementary runs a donuts with adults event. If a student showed up and didn't have a parent or guardian with them - our Senior High students jumped in to make sure all students were able to have a donut with someone!  Great work by our Strength and Conditioning/Leadership students led by Dave, Tim, Todd, and Katie!




This past week Key club members helped give back by working at three different community events, including the women's community shelter Halloween food drive, blessings in a backpack, and feeding our starving children.  Great job!
SEVEN D1 signings this past week by our Seniors - Congratulations to all who had a hand in helping these young people succeed!



Congratulations to Katie Hoppe and Neah Zimmerman, members of our equestrian team who finished second at the state event!  https://www.waow.com/video/d-c-everest-equestrian-team-takes-second-place-in-state-event/video_1b80b182-5e1a-51b7-8819-9b97ac4ac80f.html

Congratulations to Gabe Golbach on receiving 2 Service academy nominations (West Point and The Air Force Academy).  Receiving one nomination is rare and a tremendous honor - receiving two is very rare.  Congrats Gabe!


Catch me if you can!   - Use your free ticket and get out and support our students this coming weekend! We are very fortunate to have talented musicians, actors, dancers, and artists in our school!  Come see the show!


Need to Know

An update from Sunshine: Congrats to Alex Schremp on the birth of his baby girl, Lucy. A Target gift card was sent last week to celebrate.


Observations - A reminder that teachers have until November 15th to complete your two 15-20 minute observations for our upcoming faculty meeting.  All faculty members are expected to conduct those observations on the two floors where your physical classroom is not located.  For instance, if you are in the Art department you will conduct your observations on the second and third floors.  If you're in the math department, you'll be on the first and third.  

This is the link to the faculty members who have agreed to open their classroom to you.

While conducting the observation please take notes and reflect on the practice you are observing.  Focus on clarity of instruction (how does the teacher articulate the desired learning outcome?), how students are receiving feedback, and ways in which the teacher creates a positive culture in their classroom.  We will use your reflections at our faculty meeting on November 15th.

Dr. Nye's Listening Sessions - Anyone can attend at any of the schools.

Absences - Please put advance (non-illness) absences into Skyward and Frontline at least 72 hours in advance or they will not be approved. Extended absences of 3 days or more should be entered at least two weeks in advance (share with staff).
