The Round-Up: Week of January 6th

Hello Ranchers!!!

Happy New Year! I wish every one of you a fantastic

2020!

Please make sure you welcome Jeff Aguiar, our new Theatre Arts teacher. He will start immediately. Also, please welcome Ms. Zulema Silva, who starts in the Spanish position effective day 1 of the 2nd semester. Thank you to Ms. Duran, Mrs. Hagler and Mrs. Palma for filling in during the next week! Please give our new staff members a big Cowboy/Cowgirl welcome!

We only have 3 regular instructional days left followed by two teacher made exam schedule days. Thank you for finishing strong! Let's start off the new year with the high expectations of following dress code. If students make it out of dress code to 2nd, 3rd or 4th block, please let me know. The monthly faculty meeting is still this Wednesday, however, leadership and Instructional leadership have been moved back in the month due to exams and the first day of the 2nd semester.

From the desk of Lisa Whitestone:

There are A LOT of hours in the system that have not been approved. Teachers should be approving them at the end of each month. Students and parents are expressing concerns because they have not been approved. Please take a moment to approve all service learning hours.

This is a gentle reminder to let the students know we only have 3 regular instructional days before Teacher Made exams start this Thursday, January 9th. Please also share with them the modified schedule for those two days as well as the State exam days. Students, even if exempting their teacher made exam, must be present on that Thursday/Friday. If they miss it, they lose their exemption card and therefore must end up making up their exam. The next Saturday School Saturday, January 11, from 8AM - Noon. Please remind the students this is an opportunity to make up their time.

Teacher made Exams

Exemption Cards will be distributed on Tuesday January 7^th (Freshmen in the 9^thgrade gym in the morning. Upper-class students during all 4 lunches).
