Happy November Jets! It’s the start of a new month. The ancient Greek philosopher Plato once said, “the beginning is the most important part of the work.” Students have been hard at work during this second quarter. Last week students participated in Red Ribbon Week and pledged to be drug free. Also, last week we had to review the OCPS code of student conduct with students in regards to written and verbal threats. It is important for students to know that their words can hold power but can also lead to consequences.
Student Code of Conduct Review Video
Please take a minute to watch this short video reviewing an important part of the OCPS code of student conduct.
The month of November students will be mastering many standards and skills in their classes. The end of the semester will be here before we know it. It is important for students to keep track of their classwork and homework and ensure all their work is getting submitted to their teachers on time. Students can use the Canvas calendar feature to see when many of their assignments are due in their classes.
Canvas Calendar Information
Linked is information on how students can use the calendar feature in Canvas.
Have a great start to November and thank you for reading about some of our recent successes!
