4-24-19 Student Mission Briefing


GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Wednesday, April 24, 2019 – N-day
TNReady Testing day – makeups for ELA & US History
School Mission – Boundless STEM: Learning & Leading
L&N Student Mission – #Own it!

School Ops:
·         Today’s schedule for TNReady testing – you should have received an email straight from Mrs. Salerno if you need to take a makeup test today.  If you have English I or II or US History and missed any section you will need to take it today – follow the directions you were sent in the email from Mrs. Salerno today.

·      Plan on bringing family and friends to the PTSA concert and fundraiser Friday night!  Freddy’s Steakburgers will be here selling dinner and we’ll have a concert by Covalence and special musical guest appearances by Mr. Colby, Mr. Crattie, and Ms. Daugherty!  Cost is $5 per person and all proceeds go towards buying us new SmartBoards for next year!

·      Gryphons! AP testing is quickly approaching, and finals are just around the corner. In order to help prepare for testing, NHS is holding tutoring sessions every morning starting Tuesday, April 23rdthrough Tuesday, April 30th at 8:15am in the STEM Space. Tutors will be available, so make sure you stop by as preparation for the final push to the end. Good luck over the next few weeks!

·      All 9 – 11th grade students are invited to look at our prototype master schedule for next year on the board in the Commons.  Look at the classes you requested.  Will you be able to fit them all in a schedule?  If there is a conflict, first look to see if either class you want is offered any other time.  If not, please add them as conflicts on the white board in the Commons.  We’ll use this to move classes around that are causing conflicts for students.  We’ve already identified a few that will be moved this way.  Thank you for your help in testing our prototype!  Remember you are looking for classes, not teachers – which is why teacher names are not on the schedule!

Community  & Guidance Ops:
·         Seniors:  continue watching the Scholarship Bulletin on the School Counseling website.  There still are scholarships to apply for, though some with close deadlines.

Quote of the day from Sam Walton (founder of Walmart):

You can’t just keep doing what works one time, everything around you is changing.  To succeed, stay out in front of change.
