 This Week

 Tuesday, 10/16 - Voting Assembly in the Little Theater
1:00 - 1:25  Seniors
1:30 - 2:00 Juniors 
Bergen County Clerk, John Hogan will be speaking to our students regarding voter awareness.  
The goal of the program is to get students near voting age registered to vote and excited about participating in elections. What the program entails is a presentation from Clerk Hogan on the reasons why it is important to vote, the elections process in general, how to get registered, and most importantly, how to be an active participant in the electoral process. At the end of his presentation, Mr. Hogan sends members of his office around to students with voter registration forms and booklets with additional information about elections and voting. All students that are 17 and older can fill out a voter registration form and be free to vote in the first election after they turn 18 if he/she is not already. 

 Tuesday, 10/16 - Becton HS Math teachers will be visiting and spending time with a few of our teachers 

 Working Wednesday - Will update Agenda later today.  Please check back on Wednesday.  

Thursday and Friday - I will be attending the NJPSA Fall Conference and will not be in district.   

 SGO's 
I know a lot of you have been working on your SGO's. As a reminder, data needs to be entered into the Staff Portal. The original due date set back in June was Monday, October 15 (Timeline).  If you will not have your data in by 3pm today, please email me so we can talk. 

 New Field Trip Request Form/Procedures
Dr. Casarico has created a new Field Trip Request Form.  You no longer need to print it or have it on Goldenrod paper. It does require you to justify the trip and how it relates to the curriculum by answering the following four questions: (If your trip was already approved, you do not need to fill-out any new paper)
  1. What is the purpose of this trip?  How does it support the curriculum?
  2. What preparations will take place prior to the trip?
  3. Describe the learning activities that will take place during the trip.  
  4. How will it be determined if the trip was successful and that intended goals were met?
There is also a new Field Trip Permission Slip (Page 3)  which is on the doc as well. 

Process 
  • "Make a Copy" of the Field Trip Request Form 
    • (Naming Format: WHS FIELD TRIP/Teacher's Name, Date of Trip , Location)
  • Compete the form (Same old stuff and new questions)
  • Share the new Doc with me, which will be the first level of approval
  • I will share it with Mrs. Malagone who be the second level of approval
  • It will then go to Dr. Casarico for final approval and then be added to the next BOE agenda
