During Homeroom this week, students will be working on their individual growth plans through Khan Academy or Edmentum. Wednesday is Unity Day in honor of Bullying Prevention Month. Students will be allowed to wear orange and jeans in support of bullying prevention on this day. Additionally, students will be learning about bullying prevention during Homeroom on Wednesday. On Thursday, students in grades 9, 10, and 11 will be completing their digital readiness check for the upcoming PSAT exam. On Friday, Students will report directly to their testing locations at 7:45 for the practice PSAT. Seniors will meet their Homeroom teachers to complete a senior activity during that time.
Wednesday 10/16 is also Walk to School Day. Students who normally get dropped off can be dropped off at the corner of Oliver and 117th street by the Little League fields. Bus riders will also be dropped off at the football parking lot.
The actual PSAT will be at 7:45 next Wednesday 10/23. Students in grades 9, 10, and 11 will report directly to their testing locations on that day. As a reminder, the PSAT is a preparation exam for the SAT, which all students take their junior year. This exam helps inform colleges of which students to accept into their schools. Additionally, reaching the benchmark on the SAT will help students satisfy their post secondary readiness competency, which is required for graduation. Seniors will stay home and complete an activity assigned by their counselor.
There is a lockdown drill scheduled for this Thursday at 2:15 PM. This is just a drill will help students and staff understand what to do in the event where a lockdown is necessary.
Parent Teacher Conferences are next Wednesday 10/23 from 4 to 7 pm. Please stop by Memorial Gym sometime during that time to meet your child's teachers. We look forward to seeing you!
This week is the last week of the quarter so it is paramount that students finish their missing assignments and utilize our additional resources to ensure they achieve their best grades possible in each of their classes. There are plenty of tutoring resources located under the news section on our school's website.
