A few vacation suggestions for students:
- limit television viewing and video game playing; replace these activities with reading (either for school or for pleasure).
- be sure to continue with regular physical exercise. You don't have PE every other day over vacation, so it is important to build exercise into your daily routine.
- check your grades online (link from the the individual teacher websites) and take some time to get caught up on assignments that may be overdue.
- better yet, get a head start on those assignments that are due when we return from vacation (check teacher websites for details).
Our custodial staff will be cleaning the site over vacation, and I know of several teachers and staff who will be working on campus sporadically as well.
I will be working on the following projects:
- drafting a school-wide assessment policy in collaboration with Libby Krueger (this is part of our IB authorization process)
- drafting a school-wide language policy (this is also for IB)
- revising our Title I plan to better serve students who require more academic interventions
- drafting the agenda for the middle school faculty meeting on January 7
Wishing everyone a restful--and also productive--holiday season. See you in 2009!
