End of the Quarter

Ahhh...the end of the quarter is upon us. Next week is the last week of the term and it is only a four-day week. Please help your student lower their stress levels by getting their work in over the next three or so class periods. Sometimes they (we) procrastinate....

This Friday in advising I will be at PCC Cascade with a group of high school students for a music conference. Marie Taylor will be my substitute and there will be a day of group activities in the multi-purpose room with a potential for some to work on projects for the fair.

Project Fair Night is Thursday, Feb. 1st from 6 - 8:30 p.m. This has been the bulk of our efforts in advising, and there will be work from other classes represented too. We also have some live performances and art to show.

This week:
There is a guest speaker from Dark Horse Comics coming to my graphic novels class.
Gaming night is Friday...all night! I will be there . Please hold me in your thoughts.
There is a high school sexual harassment workshop being led by some of the upper school staff this Thursday.
New classes will be selected next week. NOTE: I would like to involve the parents more this time around...by having you check off that you approve of the choices your student made. I will make this easy for you this time by getting a copy of their schedule directly to you or available from the front desk.
Coming soon is another advising family meeting (February 16th). Liaison extraordinaire , John Ross, has set it up at Renee's house again. Times, details, and agenda coming up! I am very excited about this.

That is probably good for now. Due dates below still apply. NOTE: if we never conferenced, my apologies. We can still make an appointment anytime.
