8-10-18 Student Mission Briefing


GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Friday, August 10, 2018 – N-day
School Mission – Boundless STEM: Learning & Leading
L&N Student Mission – #Own it!

School Ops:
·       New students who still need a device. We will be contacting you through your Advisory class to arrange delivery.

·       Students thank you for your patience as we continue to work through settling schedules.  We are still balancing class sizes, rooms, seniors with graduation requirements to meet, and dual enrollment conflicts.  Please know we will work to address conflicts but we will not change schedules because a student changed his/her mind or just has a different preference at this time. Be sure to check your schedule on Aspen every day for the next few days for any class or room changes.

·       Cafeteria is open!  Stop in and enjoy hot and cold breakfast items and full lunch menu – and snap a selfie in the photo booth they created!  Please tag @LNSTEMAC and use #SmartFood if you post!

·       Please be mindful of KCS dress code as you choose your outfits.  Shirts must have straps at least 3 fingers wide, shorts/skirts should hit mid-thigh or longer.  No back cutouts or bare midriffs.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Community  & Guidance Ops:
·      The ACT Senior Retake Opportunity is Tuesday, October 2nd, 2018 at school.  All seniors may take the ACT for free on this date, whether or not they have previously tested.  All seniors are REQUIRED to complete the form linked below no later than Tuesday, August 21st  in order to register for or decline this opportunity.  The form contains further information.  Reminder: Taking the ACT is a graduation requirement in the state of Tennessee.  All seniors are encouraged to take the ACT more than once as research demonstrates a 1-3 point increase in scores between the first and second attempt and further increases in subsequent tests.  


Quote of the day from Nelson Mandela:

It always seems impossible until it is done.

Practice L&N Habits every day: Professionalism, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Innovation, Inquiry, & Design
