Last Week Of The Semester Schedule & Reminders |
|
Next week is the final week of our 1st semester, our Final Demonstration of Learning (DoL) Week. Although we will be following a modified schedule on these days, students are still expected to be in attendance at the designated times that their classes are meeting to complete a required assessment. This is a great opportunity for all students to demonstrate what they learned this semester, show their knowledge of standards, and improve their current grades. Students who are not yet passing a class are especially encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.
Students who need additional support should connect with their teacher, if they have not done so already, to sign up for afternoon appointments. Students should not be in the building during “Make-Up” or “Student Support Time” unless they have arranged to meet with a staff member.
Please note that buses will arrive each day of our DoL schedule at their normal time of 3:39pm, there will not be early buses. Students should plan for transportation home based on when they leave the building. Students may utilize the regular Metro service routes.
The last day of the semester is Friday, January 26th and is a grading day for teachers. There is no school for students on this day.
Let’s finish this semester strong Purgolders!
