CALL TO ACTION
● MARKET THE STUDENT CLUB FAIR
The student club fair is on
Wednesday and Thursday – encourage your students, especially 9th
graders, to attend. Many times students
make their connections to the school through these clubs.
● MAKE SURE YOU REFER STUDENTS
We cannot help students out, if
we do not know if they are having problems – fill out referrals as necessary
including academic ones which will refer to the National Honor Society
tutoring. We hope to begin this service
by the beginning of October. HELP NEEDED: We need staff
supervisors for these NHS tutoring sessions for Period 9 & 10– Per Session

The ‘Attendance for Student
Activities’ link is now operational – when students go to a sports practice,
attend tutoring, or do service for you – LET US KNOW through this form located
on the Staff Homepage – we need to know these students are headed in the right
direction just as much as we need to know they are going in the wrong
direction.
