We are heading into the fastest quarter of the year with the various days off, vacations etc. Please do your very best to focus on your curriculum and not let yourself be distracted. In case you have not looked at the calendar, we only have one week of instruction/review after the December holidays before heading into Semester 1 Final exams. And of course, this is without any inclement weather.... With everything that happens over the next 8 weeks, don't get blindsided by the speed in which this quarter moves. Thank you for EVERYTHING you do to engage your students the full 90 minutes, use data to correctively instruct, hold students accountable, contact parents... and the list goes on. I am a very lucky individual to have the best staff around. Thank you.
Gentle reminder to turn back the clocks...
This is yet another example of how this community can demonstrate how we contribute back. We always lead the county with the amount of donations we contribute to United Way. Our Leadership class and student council will be leading our student drive. At lunch on November 6-8, Student Council Officers will be having a “donation” raffle. Every $1 donation enters them into a raffle for roughly 1 of 4 prizes. Before and after school on November 6, Leadership Class members will be distributing flyers in the car line about the console coin dump. Before and after school on November 7 and 8, Leadership Class members will be collecting in the car line. On November 6th and 7th - classroom request (with no incentive). We are asking every student in 2nd block to bring a quarter or two. Thank you for helping us support United Way!
Teachers: Please begin to share the information with your email distribution lists. Talk about it with your students as well. The Parent Empowerment Summit is specifically for parents and guardians of middle and high school students however, students are welcome to volunteer. We will have childcare provided by our Early Childhood Classes. Student groups from HOSA, SAVE and Service Learning will be participating at this time. If additional students would like to volunteer or would like to represent an organization, please have them see Mrs. Michelle Phillips.
Gentle reminder to turn back the clocks...

As a reminder regarding attendance, students who have more than 3 absences excused or unexcused will need to make up time for each absence over three with each individual teacher. If this is not made up by each end of the quarter, the grade is printed as 55/F until time is made up. You do not count suspension days coded as 3 or 3A, and any dates listed on Mrs. O'Neal's waiver list.

If you or your club/sport are interested in working on the outdoor dining area and earning some service learning hours, we are looking for volunteers on November 9th, Saturday from 9AM - 1PM behind the cafeteria. We will need pole hole digging tools and shovels to move gravel along with the individuals to use those tools. If you are interested, simply show up. The more individuals present, the quicker this gets finished.

All grades need to be submitted by the end of the day Thursday, Oct 31st.
Grade changes can be submitted after spreadsheets have been turned in. I have attached the grade change form that has to be filled out for all grade changes. You will make the change in your gradebook but you have to give me the form to let me know what you have changed in order for me to store the grade in their historical marks.
You should be entering grades for all students. INC’s are only for students that have had medical issues or student’s that have been pre-approved by Mr. Hettenbach to receive INC’s.
Students that need to make up time due to too many absences should receive an “55” and use comment code:
56244- A “55” indicates the attendance policy was violated. Follow the dates for the 10 day window below.
You will need to print out and give to me only the Score Sheet which is your spreadsheet with assignments & QTR Grade. (screen shots are included in the attachment so you can see exactly what I am asking for)
Report cards will be printed on Nov. 4th and they will be given to students Tuesday, November 5th.

OneCard identification badge wearing will be starting this past week. Students should have a OneCard and their own Lanyard. We had roughly 350+ students without their cards and Mr Miller will get those students their cards Monday or Tuesday. Students may tell you they need a OneCard or a Lanyard.
Students will use the OneCards to
- Swipe into school
- Purchase Cafeteria Meals
- Checkout materials in the Media Center.
Please remind students to wear their badges OR show their paper pass. If they refuse, please submit it into Educator's Handbook so an administrator can have a converation with the student/parent. Swiping starts at 7:40. Swiping supervisors be ready! Students should not bypass the machines until an adult on duty allows them to pass.
