Please take time this week to reach out to parents for any of your students that are struggling or have lost focus. The counselors, CST, Mr. Clancy and I have been reaching out to students that needed a reminder about the importance of school and the hole they have dug themselves. Unfortunately, we will have students failing classes and even a few retentions. Everyone this year has gone above and beyond for their students. Some students choose to do nothing, for which there will be consequences.

The Seven Habits of Highly Affective Teachers
Spend some time to start the 4th marking period getting to know your students even deeper than you already think you do. Make connections, make sure students know you care.
Ask them some of the following questions:
Spend some time to start the 4th marking period getting to know your students even deeper than you already think you do. Make connections, make sure students know you care.
Ask them some of the following questions:
What do they love to do outside of school?
What brings joy to their life?
What's one thing they wish you knew about them?
What are their goals after high school?
When a student becomes more to us than the class clown, mean girl, drama queen, geek, or jock, it is easier to remember that each student matters and is worth our time. They are not just one more paper to grade. We think of them specifically as we plan our lessons, and we look forward to watching them progress. Time in their company is time well spent.
