Celtic Courier: Week of Dec. 15 - Dec. 19

"Vision to See, Faith to Believe, Courage to Do"

Dear Staff,

We hope you have had a wonderful weekend with your families, a blend of the holiday season and preparing for exam week.

This week:

Monday: If you have seniors who can now exempt their exam due to work turned in on Monday and have sent your list to Colleen, please be sure and update the list so that seniors who can leave.  The same should go for any junior or senior who now turns in work that you determine raises their grade.  Be sure and update the list with Colleen who now no longer has a D or F in your class.

If you have not yet turned in your exam, please be sure and turn it in to Jacobsen no later than noon on Monday.  Be sure and list all team members on common exams.

Please be sure all students are very clear on their exam week.  Freshmen and sophomores are here in its entirety.  Juniors and seniors must have no D or F cumulatively for the first semester.  All students who do not have an exam report to the cafeteria and then we will divide them by subject area to receive extra help and support.

Thanks for your support as we continue our pyramid of interventions and focus on learning during exam week. If you have any questions at all about exam week or specific students, please let us know.  No lunch is served Tuesday - Friday and buses transport after the exam period at 12:55.

Please also make sure your same-subject team is utilizing the class period for intervention prior to exams.  This should be a structured review based on student performance data rather than just a general study center time.

Wednesday: Periods 3 and 4 Exams, Make-up time 1 PM

Thursday: Periods 5 and 6 Exams, Make-up time 1 PM
