Mr. Dave Mueller
Principal's Corner
We look forward to seeing many parents during parent/teacher conferences tomorrow between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. While conference night is a convenient opportunity to meet with teachers, please feel free to contact a teacher as soon as you have a question or concern. It usually works best to send the teacher an email request for an appointment for a call or meeting. Thanks to PTSA for providing dinner for faculty members on this evening!
Thanks for contributing to Rocket spirit during Spirit Week last week. Many parents and alumni attended the home opener football game, participated in the golf outing, and volunteered at spirit events. Students enjoyed the theme dress days, the Walk, the game, and the Homecoming Dance.
Congratulations to our seniors who have been named National Merit Commended Students, a designation which recognizes the academic top 3% of students nationwide: Erin Callahan, Taylor Collett, Harper Esterle, Brianna Taylor, Josh Twomey, and Zach Twomey. We thank them for their hard work and the honor they have brought to their school.
During Advisory today, students developed their skills in managing the equation Experience + Response = Outcome. They reflected on scripture passages to deepen their understanding that the only part of that equation under their control is their response to the experiences that life gives them. The Advisory today set the stage for students to set a key academic goal and a key Stature goal during upcoming Advisories.
Friday, a professional growth day faculty and staff, is a holiday for students. During the morning faculty members will focus on 1) effective methods for teaching in 85-minute periods and 2) skills for department teamwork in improving instruction based on feedback about student learning. In the afternoon, faculty and staff will pray together as a faith community.
Open House is coming soon, October 27, 1:00-4:00 p.m. Please spread the word by posting a yard sign, available at the Beechmont and courtyard doors.
