Today is day #37 in the 2nd trimester out of 62 scheduled days. We have just over one month left in this trimester!
Today is also pay day and a good day to remember to keep your grades up to date! Remember, these are to be updated AT LEAST twice a month (by the 10th & 25th). While updating your grades, I would encourage you to look at those students that are not being successful in your class. Reflect on why these students are not successful. Are there any interventions or strategies you have not tried? Have you notified the parents? Have you talked with the student? We are still early enough in the trimester to 'salvage' some of the poor performers out there!
Scheduling
Next week Wendy and I will be meeting with department chairs to review course descriptions and discuss and changes and/or additions to our selection guide. Please notify your department chair or one of us if you have any suggestions or ideas about course offerings for next year.
Tech Tuesday -- The Tri Star Series
Our focus for the next several Tech Tuesday's will be a preview of the Tri Star programs available to our students. While many of us know what Tri Star is about and maybe even what programs are offered, few of us have met the teachers and heard first hand what the programs involve. This Tech Tuesday series will offer us an inside look at the programs, an opportunity to hear directly from the teachers, and a chance to ask questions about the type of students that are ideal for the program.
Each day will involve a different morning and afternoon session and will take place in room 119. Attendance will result in CEUs! So far, we have scheduled these sessions (and we are working on more):
January 29
AM & PM sessions with Tim Buschur, Tri Star director will give us an overview of ALL Tri Star programs and the future of Career Education.
happy birthday

Friday Focus #18: 1.11.13
Just a couple of quick updates...
Don't forget, we have parent - teacher conferences on Wednesday from 4:30 - 7 PM.
Scheduling
Its that time of year again... time to start thinking about scheduling again! Every year, I ask the teaching staff to complete a 'Scheduling Worksheet' that helps us plan in the scheduling process. I would ask that every teacher fill this out by next Friday, January 18. You will need to log in with your Celina Schools Google account to gain access to the survey.

Friday Focus #17: 1.4.13
Happy New Year! Hopefully you had a break that was relaxing and enjoyable. Although it may have been difficult to come back on January 2nd, at least we had a short week!
The beginning of the new year is a good time to think about and reflect upon your individual and professional goals. As we have for the past couple of years, I would ask (if you are comfortable with it) to share your own 'resolutions' in the comment section below. Here is a link to the last two year's worth of CHS resolutions! Personal & Professional resolutions are both welcome.
