Principal Blog Week of February 5th, 2024

Purpose Corner - This week I focus on student language expectations in our hallways and course joking perceptions. The transcript of the video can be accessed through this link and a Spanish transcript can be accessed through this link.




Family Connect Conferences- We will be having our one night of Family Connect virtual conferences, tomorrow, Wednesday, February 7th. Conferences will start at 4:30 P.M. and go until 8:00 P.M. The format of the connection time will be 7-minute conferences with teachers leading the conference by asking these two questions:

1. What successes and challenges has your student shared with you about their performance in this class? 

2. What do I need to know about your student academically and/or personally for your student to have a successful learning experience in my class? 

Parents/guardians... having answers to these two questions will maximize the conference time and can allow for further conversation around academics in the classroom, so you are encouraged to be prepared for your time.

This a reminder to all parents that the sign-up document that has been shared with you via email is currently accessible on our school website and is linked below, after school today will have the links to each teacher's virtual conference room. Once these links appear, all you have to do is click on the teacher's link before your scheduled meeting time and it will take you into their lobby. They will let you in for the virtual conference at the scheduled time.
