Friday Focus #27: 4.19.13

What a busy and exciting time of year.  It is hard to believe we are near the end of April already.  At least the weather hasn't been too nice... keeps everyone from getting overly anxious for summer break!

Hopefully you have had the opportunity to watch the Spring Musical Grease.  As always, our students put on another fantastic performance.  Congrats to the students and production crew on a great show!


Distracted Driving
On Wednesday, April 24th, we will have a presentation sponsored by the Celina Fire Department in conjunction with the New Bremen Emergency Squad concerning distracted driving.  We will hear from Jacy Good, a victim of distracted driving.  Jacy's parents were killed in a car accident caused by a distracted driver.  She has been speaking across the country about her cause and has made appearances on Oprah Winfrey and TLC's 'Say Yes to the Dress'.  We will hold the assembly from 8:30 to 9:30 AM in the gym.  We will release students over the PA around 8:30 -- keep your 1st period students until we release.   Periods 2 & 3 will each be 50 minutes.  Fourth period will start 30 minutes late.  There will be no advisory period.  Here is the adjusted bell schedule: http://goo.gl/qq5qc.

Prom
Prom is next Friday...  hard to believe!  The year is flying by!
Remember that Juniors and Seniors will be release after 3rd period (10:50 AM).  There will be a list out next week for Juniors that are decorating!

Scheduling
We have made some real progress in building the Master Schedule this week and are somewhat ahead of schedule.  As soon as we are able, we will send out rough drafts of the schedule via email.  Thanks for your continued patience!


Service Learning Day Update
We will begin placing students in groups for Service Learning Day on Monday and hope to have lists out for students by the following Monday (April 29).  We will have a faculty meeting for Service Learning Day information on Wednesday, May 1st @ 7 AM in the lecture hall.  At this meeting, we will distribute group information for teachers.  If you are going to be out on Service Learning Day, please make sure you talk with Kassie, CJ, or Jason about arrangements for your substitute.

Awards
Remember... Academic Awards and Scholarship night is Monday, April 29th @ 6:30 PM.

Also, there was some confusion on Senior awards and Senior meeting.  The Senior Meeting with the fire department and graduation information that is MANDATORY for all seniors to attend will be on WEDNESDAY MAY 1ST.  We will begin that meeting around 7:45 AM.  Students should return around 9 or 9:30 AM to class.

We will have Senior Awards and Superlatives on WEDNESDAY, MAY 15th.... before senior exams.  The last day for seniors will be Friday, May 17th.
