The Crucible
IS STILL SHOWING THIS WEEK!
7:00 pm Wed, Thur & Fri
$5 at door
The Crucible tells the story of the Salem Village Witch Trials, and personal lives of several figures involved in the trials. Central to the story is John Proctor, a farmer whose wife is accused, and Abigail Williams, a young girl who was discovered with several of her friends dancing in a strange ritual in the woods. The story explores ideas of truth, and the suspicions between neighbors in the village.

Message from SUSD High School Principals
|
|
Email sent to parents on 4/30/18
Dear Parents/Guardians of SUSD High School Students,
As you know, all SUSD campuses have been closed since Thursday, April 26th, 2018. The impact of the closures is more complex for high school students than K-8 students. In the event that teachers return to school by May 3, 2018, the following will be in effect for all SUSD high school students:
- Seniors will meet course outcomes and state standards with their final exams completed by May 23, 2018. Graduation ceremonies will happen as previously scheduled. Senior students will NOT be required to attend any additionalschool days that may be added to the current school year.
- AP and IB exams will be administered as scheduled. Staff on site will proctor the exams.
- If scheduling permits, Fine Arts performances will be rescheduled. If the performance is required as a part of the course, and cannot be rescheduled, teachers will make necessary adjustments.
- The Arizona Department of Education & the SUSD Governing Board will work together to determine if additional school days need to be added. If additional days are required, the final exam schedule for 9th, 10th, and 11th gradersmay have to be adjusted.
- We are working with our dual enrollment liaisons to ensure students enrolled in dual enrollment courses meet the requirements to earn college credit. For students who were scheduled to take the Accuplacer during the teacher walkout, we will work with college to get that rescheduled. If we are unable to reschedule the Accuplacer, students can take the test anytime at SCC.
- Work assigned to students during the teacher walkout will not be graded. Any assignments during school closures are supplemental in order to encourage students to stay current on their studies. Class time will be allotted before any tests or projects are due.
We are evaluating plans in the event that schools do not open by May 3 and will provide further communication, if needed. Thank you for your patience.
Professionally, SUSD High School Principals

Paragraph 6:
"So, our fight is not over, and we have options," said AEU organizer and Alhambra elementary teacher Rebecca Garelli,
"But it's time for us to get back to our students in our classrooms and schools and continue the fight for the additional resources our students need. If lawmakers do their job and get this budget passed by Thursday, then we commit to return to our classrooms by then."

Some AZ teachers hold classes off campus during walkout
Nobody was counting calories at this Scottsdale Weight Watchers Center Thursday, but they were crunching a lot of numbers.
Ives Machiz teaches A.P. statistics at Arcadia High School in Phoenix. He didn't want students to fall behind, with campus closed and teachers now on strike, so he decided to hold a voluntary stats class at the Weight Watchers office near Shea Boulevard and Scottsdale Road.
