Welcome to the beginning of Quarter 2! This week during Homeroom, students will be working on their individual growth plans through Khan Academy or Edmentum. Additionally, they will be doing activities related Red Ribbon Week, which is a week dedicated to drug abuse prevention.
This Wednesday is PSAT day, which will test students in grades 9 through 11 on how well they are prepared to test on the actual SAT. Students take the actual SAT in March of their junior year. Seniors will not attend school on PSAT Day. Instead, they will do a career or college activity assigned through the guidance department. ACC AM students are required to be at Whiting High School for their PSAT, which will start at 7:45 AM.
Parent Teacher Conferences are also on Wednesday from 4 to 7 PM in Memorial Gym. Report cards will be passed out at that time. For parents and students who do not attend conferences, their report cards will be passed out during Homeroom on Thursday 10/24. Grades will also be updated in RDS on Wednesday 10/23.
Congratulations to Rylie Wienke, Briseida Lopez, Alejandra Perez, and Lucy Zoliner, who all won Oilers of the Week last week. Teachers nominate Oilers of the Week by choosing students who exemplify our 5 core values (self-discipline, responsibility, self-advocacy, grit, and growth mindset).
