Bell Schedule Updates-

At our last faculty meeting, the majority of staff chose Bell Schedule B as the preferred option from the two schedules created by the workgroups. Home Groups will have a chance to discuss and prioritize which column best fits the needs of their students. HGLs will then make final decisions at a later date. 


Project Inspire: Online Professional Development Summer 2024 Course Offerings-

The Office of Curriculum and Instructional Design is pleased to announce the upcoming Project Inspire courses for the Summer 2024 session. Project Inspire is an online professional development credit program designed to support teachers with instructional best practices and pedagogy in computer science, educational technology, and universal distance/blended learning.

From Mike and the Custodians:

Just a reminder that you are responsible to dump students' lunch that was taken out of the cafeteria to your room. Students' lunch must be placed in a separate trash bag tied up and thrown away into one of our trash rolling bins located under our stairs. Trash bins are located under stairwells between A & F building. Or between D & E building.  If trash bags are needed please submit a custodial work request. If you have any questions or concerns please let Mike know. Thanks in advance.
