- Congrats to boys cross country on their championship this week, capping an undefeated SWCL season, led by league third-place finisher Colin Caso and fourth place Ryan Semle! The girls, led by individual champion Hannah Jones, took second place overall, narrowly missing the league meet championship after an undefeated regular season.
- We will be sending instructions on how to register for parent-teacher conferences next week. Our conferences are scheduled to be held on November 15 from 6:00-8:00 p.m., and parents will register for six-minute conferences, which we are told was an adequate amount of time to review first term grades and performance. Parents should bring specific questions to ensure that the time is meaningful. If a teacher does not have an available time, parents may select to have a call back or schedule a conference at a mutually convenient time during the school day.
- First term grades will be closing November 5. Report cards for the first quarter will be distributed online the following week.
- We have been receiving a number of calls regarding family vacations during school time. Please note that vacations only excuse a student from being truant, and we do not condone the practice of missing school time. Even when students are aware of absence, the process and responsibility for making up work falls to the student. It is simply not reasonable to expect teachers to replicate certain classroom experiences after student absences, and makeup work may mean alternative assignments, particularly when dealing with missed collaborative class assignments or labs. Students can also make up assignments during flex time and, for some teachers, before school.
- Here's a link to the Week That Was, our weekly video retrospective. Happy watching! (It can be accessed by copying this as well: https://youtu.be/zNHlWr4waMs).
Thank you, as always, for the support.
