1. SPRING ROLLOVER PACKETS
Your Spring Rollover Packet will be delivered to you by tomorrow for you to pass out in your advisory. Please distribute them tomorrow in advisory.
Included in the Spring Rollover Packet are:
- The tentative Spring Schedules - Although schedules have been rolled-over, they are tentative mainly for juniors and seniors (I have to double-check all their credits to make sure they have all their right courses)
- Career Day Survey
- Schedule Change Request Forms
They will receive an updated course schedule (if they had changes) on the first of school when we return.
2. SURVEY
Ms. Chang and Ms. Yan would like to survey interest around the career speakers students would like to come at a tentatively planned Career Day. Please survey your students during advisory. Thank you very much.
3. CH-CH-CH-CHANGES
I have included Change of Schedules Request in your packet. Please note that I will not honor any request that does not have the approval of the teacher they are requesting changes for. SO... please do us all a favor and try not to approve any schedule changes that is absolutely unnecessary.
4. TEACHER LED CHANGES
If there is a huge sweeping change that you need to make in terms of your classes, please contact our administrators for any sweeping changes. Huge sweeping changes might include:
- moving all SpEds into one class or vice-versa
- moving all ELs into one class or vice-versa
- moving an entire period into another period
For smaller changes that doesn't involve a large intensive change, please see me.
5. CAREER DAY - APRIL 5
We are planning on hosting our first ever secondary career fair for April 5. The counseling team consisting of Ms. Chang, Ms. Yan, City Year, the Fulfillment Fund and myself is planning a day where students can meet and greet different speakers from different career field. I will send a separate e-mail regarding Career Day.
6. COLLEGE FAIR - APRIL 24
We have tentatively set a date for our second annual College Fair on April 24, not to be confused with the student-led college fair that 11th grade team just led.
7. MASTER PROGRAM INSTITUTE
Please note that begin Wednesday, January 17, I not will be on campus for 10 consecutive Wednesdays to attend the Master Program Institute. While I already serve the functions of an APSCS (the Assistant Principal in charge of the Master Schedule), I have never really been trained to run it. Over the years, I have watched and observed how my previous APSCSs have done it and followed their leads. As a part of the MPI program, I have to concurrently run our Master Schedule as well so Fall Master Scheduling will begin on January.
It's time to make it official! And to get myself out of the RIF list.
