When the school year started, I can honestly say I didn't know what to expect. There were many unknowns- our new schedule, our new classrooms, COVID. But as we end the first quarter, I knew there was one thing that wouldn't be unexpected- the effort you would make for our kids and each other. Thank you for always putting our kids first!

Ernie Johnson
Those of you who know NBA basketball know of Ernie Johnson. His son, Michael, died last Friday at the age of 33. I saw a post on Twitter about his son and thought I would share it with you. Have a Kleenex handy as you hear about why Mr. Johnson says "There's value in everyone."
Upcoming half day on November 23rd
This half day will consist of only morning classes, the last of which will end at 12:00. It is an A day. If you're one to look way ahead, the half day on January 21st is a B day so the second quarter will be equally impacted by half days. All half days will be our morning classes.
Grades are due on Thursday, November 11th at 8AM
All quarter grades are due at 8AM on Thursday, November 11th. Please don't provide a narrative of what happened during the quarter in the comments section. Instead, please use the drop down menu of options or write your own individual comments for each student. If you would like Dawn to add to the list of comments, please let her know what you'd like to have added. Any questions or concerns, please see me.
As I prepare for the second day of the WSPRA conference, I'm more keenly aware of the incredible people that I get to go to school with every day. You provide the structure and environment and expectations for our students and each other. I look forward to be back with you this afternoon. Don't worry. I'm not bringing anything back to add to your plates. This time away was learning for my improvement, not to add more to you. I'll see you all soon.
Jay
