Week of December 4th

Team -

I hope everyone's week back from Thanksgiving was as pleasant as could be. As we move into December, we are only 5 weeks away from the end of the semester, meaning roughly 4 weeks left until testing. Please remind the students of this short window in which they need to make up work and time, and make positive decisions as they press towards the end of the semester. December 9th is the next Saturday School for make up time. 8am - Noon in the media center. Remember to contact parents of students who currently have Ds, and Fs, as well as attendance issues that are causing their grade to be at a 55 (even last quarter) rather than their earned grade if higher. 

Please make sure you are alerting the student's grade level counselor and admin if you are nervous about someone failing your class.   

PLEASE pay attention to dress code. The kids are "coming out of pocket". Time to be consistent with the already reduced dress code. Collared button up shirts must be buttoned. T-shirts must be SWHS gear, dresses and shorts should be relatively close to the knee.  Please, please, please check for dress code... don't leave it for the next teacher to address it. 

The ACT WorkKeys assessment is a tool to show your child’s career readiness and employability.  All seniors who are Career and Technical Education concentrators—meaning they have taken 4 or more classes in the same career cluster are required to take the assessment. If eligible, seniors will test next week on Tuesday, December 5^th or Wednesday, December 6^th from 8:35-12:00 in the Coggins’ Gym.  All students who meet the criteria have been given a parent letter with more information about the WorkKeys, and their specific test date. Teachers wil be informed of who is taking this test, when, and where.
