Principal Blog Week of January 9th, 2023

Purpose Corner - This week I focus on scheduling for next year which will be happening in late January and focus on the importance of a rigorous course schedule. The transcript of the video can be accessed through this link

Course Scheduling Information - The letters below were also sent directly to families regarding scheduling and follow up to the message above:

Semester 1 Exam Schedule - Semester exams are the week of January 16th, 2023. Below are the schedule and expectations for exam week as they have always been......

• Students are expected to be in attendance for all eight class periods during finals week including study halls, they are not optional.

• Students do not have to be in attendance for make-up or review/conferencing time unless required by their teacher. Students who come in during this time need to be in a supervised location for the duration of the time. Students can be with a teacher in their classroom, or in the Media Center or Cafeteria.

• Students do not have the option to miss a scheduled exam hour and then take it during the make-up session unless they have communicated with their teacher a legitimate absence reason. Students risk losing this opportunity to show more evidence of their learning which could affect their semester grades.  

• All students should be in their designated classroom during their final exam hour for the entire period and are NOT to be released early, as there are other exams occurring.

New Scholarship Blog is active!! - This scholarship blog site is linked here and is accessible through our school website. Students can search for all the different scholarships available such as West only, Local, WEF (Waukesha Educational Foundation), State, and National scholarships. Pay close attention to deadlines as some applications will not be available until the New Year. You can also sign up to receive email alerts each time a new scholarship is uploaded.
