END OF 3RD NINE WEEKS - FRIDAY 3/14/2025

 As we approach the end of the 3rd nine weeks on March 14, I want to remind everyone of the importance of entering all grades into JCampus promptly.
 
Also, I wanted to share that I’ve started the countdown for our seniors—we have just 37 days left until their last day! Let’s encourage our students to finish strong and make the most of this time.
 
If you are a NEW teacher and are experiencing any difficulties with the grade submission process in JCampus, please do not hesitate to reach out to your administrator or one of the school counselors for assistance. It’s crucial that we ensure all grades are submitted on time to maintain accurate records.
 
Your support and dedication make a significant difference in their success. Let’s work together to help them achieve their goals in these final weeks!

LAST DAY FOR FIELD TRIPS INFO

Please refer to the attached memo regarding the last day for field trips. We ask that you review the details and ensure that all necessary arrangements are made accordingly. Additionally, as we approach the end of the school year, please start planning for the upcoming end-of-year activities. If you need any guidance or have questions regarding these events, feel free to reach out to your Executive Director or Director for assistance.

ELPT Testing begins on February 10, so we are asking all (school-wide) EL students to please attend school daily and listen for your name to be called or ask your teacher if you are scheduled to take the test that day. Teachers, we appreciate your help with this!

Suggested ways teachers can help:

  1.  The students have a Fry List of Sight Words if you have a chance please ask them to read the list to you. There will be a list every class so they have plenty.
  2. They are learning to read and follow directions. It was explained to them to use the check off method. So, when they complete one direction then they will check it off. They are to do so with all the directions and double check the check marks before turning it in. We start with put your name and date on the paper and do nothing else every class.
  3. Use picture cards to get them to write sentences. You can check out a box in the library.
  4. Writing paragraphs we do (7 sentences at 3 pts. each) the point incentive actually works with them. Make it something they can relate to and model your expectations.

Side note-if they pass the ELPT and are placed out of ESL, then they will receive a seal on their diploma for being bi-lingual, which could really help them in the future!
