Can you believe we only have 6 weeks of school left? That's 29 days [after today]! Twenty-nine days to get it all done! Let's make each one count!
As you are well aware, we have many things planned for the remaining 29 days. This week, we began building the 2013-2014 Master Schedule. Next week we will hopefully make a great deal of progress with it! We will continue to work on "I Can" statements during our 2-hour delay Wednesday. Service Learning Day is quickly approaching... as is the Awards Night, Art Show, Prom, Grease, Spring Music Concerts, NHS Banquet, and the list goes on and on! This is an easy time of year to get off track [for all of us], so work hard to keep that structure in your classrooms -- time-on-task -- and hold the students accountable for the remainder of the school year!
Here are a few items of note:
Tornado Drills
We will be doing a 'walkthrough' tornado drill next week, followed closely by one that is unannounced. Please let Phil know if you need a new evacuation poster.
CHAMP Teacher Appreciation Breakfast
On Thursday, May 9th, CHAMP will host the annual Teacher Appreciation Breakfast. Plan to attend sometime between 6:30 AM and the start of the school day in the 1st floor teacher workroom for this VERY popular event!
Senior Exams
Barring any further snowstorms or other weather related cancellations, we will plan for the last day for seniors to be Friday, May 17th. Plan to give senior exams on the 16th and 17th of May.
Honoring the Retirees
We have the opportunity to recognize those individuals that have served this school for many years at both the CHS staff retirement party on May 2nd (@ The Potter House) and at the CEA Celebration of Education on May 8th. Please plan to attend one or both of these events. This is a great way to honor and recognize these individuals!
Tech Tuesday
Next week we will hold another Tech Tuesday. After discussion with the Building Leadership Team, it has been decided that we should host a 'Data Deciphering' session. We will use Excel to discuss techniques for breaking down data, primarily for use in reviewing data collected during the OIP process.
Topics covered will include:
- Sorting data in a spreadsheet
- Writing simple formulas
- What to look for in your data
We will meet in room 119 @ 7 AM on Tuesday and again @ 2:25 PM.
happy birthday

Seniors have a meeting all morning on the 17th (according to the calendar), so if you have seniors in the morning, plan on the 15th and 16th for your morning exams!
