Winter Vacation

Happy holidays!  AEA is currently on Winter Break.  Classes resume January 5, 2009.  While this is a well-deserved vacation for teachers, staff, and students, it is important that students maintain their "academic muscles" in top condition.
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!
