The Week Ahead February 7, 2025
This week we started experimenting with a new initiative to encourage students to get to class on time as well as to combat occurrences of skipping. When students are found to be deliberately tardy or skipping class, they will spend five minutes participating in Earth Patrol on campus. Earth Patrol is geared toward making sure that items that don’t belong in nature are gathered and thrown away.

We have been talking to the student body daily about respecting our school grounds. Food trash, among other garbage, is left in the most odd places throughout the day. We are positive that your children are not allowed to leave garbage all over the place at home, nor are they probably allowed to throw milk and juice at windows and walls, and we would really appreciate that not happening at school as well.

We have been working through our second FAST progress monitoring period this week with our students taking the FAST ELA and Math assessments. The results of these assessments are used to help guide course selections for students as well as identifying needs for interventions and/or enrichment. A cursory look at some of the initial data shows that students are making growth!
