One of our vision statements that we are holding ourselves to is CELEBRATION. It is always very important to take time and reflect on the enormous amount of work and success we had in a school year. Too often we only focus on what needs to change instead of the amazing work that has happened.
This Monday, May 15th, we are going to take time to do just that! We will have burgers and brauts for faculty and staff by the high school office during your lunch time. Your ticket to the event is bringing something that represents success for you this school year that you want to share with everyone around you. We will have some models of what this could look up on the walls starting on Friday and I will deliver a large post-it note to your door! This doesn't have to be fancy - could share sample student work, information about a project, improvement of students, what you learned new from the school year, etc.!!
While you eat, you will be able to have a gallary walk and share in each other's success. We are successful because we are all in this together.
This will be the last Monday Moment for the 22-23 school year! So happy to do this work with all of you!
Important Information:
Computer Plan (we finally got it together, Abe!): Computer pickup will start on Thursday of next week. We will begin with seniors and see how many grades we can get through that day. Any grades that weren't picked up on Thursday will be picked up on Friday. If you indicated you need computers for finals, please reach out to Gloria and make a plan. She is happy to get a cart in your room. (The idiot that created the survey forgot to collect your names! (That was me!!!)
Master Schedule: I am a little reluctant to share this because you are probably going to have a lot of questions that I may not have the answers to and it could change - but this is the tentative master schedule for next school year. I still have a lot of work to do on it, but I am brain dead! I worked on it far enough to know that it is in a pretty good spot! If you have questions, please know you can ask, but I will be working on it more after school is out.

Fun Games: Thanks to Abe Schwartz, Jennifer Ball, Vanessa Johnson and many others for taking time to organize a few fun things for our students. We have had mean wiffle ball games, dodgeball games (I am not much help at this!), and corn hole for students to participate in during lunch and WIN. It is great to see students participating in some friendly competition and teachers playing with students. Thanks for making the last few days special!!
Internship Training - Thursday, May 18th, we will be hosting a few of our business partners who will be mentors for our students duringt their internship next year. Our goal with the training is to develop a training plan and set goals with the student and their mentor to increase communication and rigor during these opportunities. We are excited about this. Thanks to Mike Bishop for organizing!

We are asking if you need to do ordering for your classes next school year that you please add it to this excel file that is shared with the Central Office. This helps us keep shipping costs down and ensure all is ordered properly. LIST (Please note the different tabs at the bottom.)
