As semester one comes to an end, please make sure your Aviators are on time to school everyday for the remainder of the year. Our campus attendance goal is 94.1% and currently we are at 93.4%. In order to meet our goal, we need our aviators present each day for the remainder of the month!
Student Spirit Day:
In addition to field trips to end the semester strong, we invite all students to participate in our Spirit Day themes. Starting Tuesday, December 5th, students can choose to participate in that day’s theme dress and earn squad points!
Please note: students should NOT wear athletic wear/sweatpants/leggings or crocs/slides on any day except for Monday, December 18th (Pajama day). Students who are out of dress code or not following the theme will be expected to call home for a change of clothes.
Plan of Support for Chemistry and Algebra II
Aviator Families! I wanted to update you all regarding the Chemistry/Algebra II plan for instruction to ensure all Aviators are learning and on track for all upcoming District Exams. For the past 2 weeks, Ms. Addison (Dean of Instruction) has implemented a robust plan in alignment with the district curriculum for our students. Students have assignments in Khan Academy that are assigned weekly. Every lesson includes aligned videos including teacher explanations, lectures, and models, and example problems that are walked through by the instructor in the videos before students are released to independently practice the daily skill. Students will have one graded assignment per week incorporated in the self-paced lessons. All lessons for both Chemistry and Algebra II are 100% aligned with the district curriculum to ensure our Aviators do not have a disruption in learning due to the vacancy and are successful on district assessments. We are working diligently to hire a qualified candidate to teach our Aviators and are hopeful to have a new teacher in the classroom after Winter Break. Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns you have. Thank you!
Upcoming Exams:
Common Assessments are behind us, but we are always collecting data through Summative Assessments! It’s vital that your Aviator is present to school every day to learn material and master daily objectives to be set up for success on upcoming assessments. See below for the next round of Summative Assessments!
ELA 6 – 8 – 12/12-12/14
English I & II – 12/12-12/14
