High School Highlights
From Rich Friel
Health students are working on their Personality collages along with role playing activities about stress, stressors, and dealing with stress in a positive way.  Team Sports will be bowling on Friday at Fairview Lanes. 

From Chris Kaminski
It was great to have Mrs. Dunlap's MS classes in the Innovation Center last week to design and build their "Buddy Burners." The students designed stoves out of old coffee cans, cardboard, tuna cans, wax and wicks. We look forward to seeing the results of their hard work.

PLP Tips
Students will begin utilizing their personalized learning platform (PLP) this coming week.  Some tips:

Ask your student:
1) Do you have courses that are on the PLP?  Which ones?  

2) Would you show me how you log in and what you see when you do? Note: We recommend you login as your student, that way you are sure to see all links, such as Google Docs. 

3) Can we look and see what is in each of these sections named here on the dashboard to the left of the screen? (Week, year, progress, college).

4) What is the "Blue Line?" 

Good to know: The "Blue Line" in the year section marks time as weeks go by. It does not move on weekends or days when we know most students will not be working on their courses. For example, during Fall Break (Conferences/Thanksgiving).  Students can, of course, access and work on their materials and tasks. These days bring increased opportunities for catching up or forging ahead. 

5 ) Discuss how often and when you and your student will sit down to look at and discuss materials and progress in the PLP.  What schedule you establish will depend on your student's strengths and challenges. Your student's mentor and teachers can advise you about frequency.  
What to Watch For: 

If after the PLP is "live" for a week or two:
1) In the WEEK section, you do not that your student is adding goals under most or all of the days.

2) In the YEAR section, your student cannot show you what work in either or both the first Project and first Power Focus Area is underway.  

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or the school office.
