As the temperatures fall below freezing, please remind your Bronco to wear a jacket, sweatshirt, or sweater that can be worn when they go outside to PA.  We will take them outside as long as the temperature is above freezing (including the wind chill).  I realize that this is a battle that you may not want to fight, but students wearing only shorts and a t-shirt this week is a little ridiculous.

 

We will begin third quarter and second semester class changes on Monday, January 27.  Students will be instructed to report to their new electives and our next class rotation with Green block moving from last to first.  The new order will be Green-Blue-Red-Yellow. 

 

Our annual Saturday Academy will begin on Saturday, February 1.  Students who qualify for this opportunity will each be given an invitation letter today.  Students were identified from their EOG scores from 18-19, recent MAP scores, and grades.  These sessions are designed for our students who need additional support in math and reading as shown by the three indicators listed above.

 

Finally, we have purchased a license through a donation to show the movie Screenagers on Tuesday, March 3 in the Hough High School Auditorium.  We will be inviting parents from Bailey, Hough, Cornelius, Huntersville, J.V. Washam, and Davidson to this event.  We will also be showing the student version the following early release day to our Broncos, which will be followed by an activity and discussion.  Screenagers is a documentary that gives parents some real information about screen time, internet addiction, social media and mental health, which are all very real issues for the current generation of kids.  More information will be coming soon, but mark your calendars and get there early since this free event will be first come, first serve seating.  Link to website for more info: https://www.screenagersmovie.com/
