    Instructional Highlight!

    This week is a “grind week”. 4th Quarter started, there are not too many interruptions (except for SBAC for Juniors) but ultimately we are turning to focus on ending the year and pushing our students to finish strong. Senior defenses have been set (in regards to dates) and Seniors are slowly realizing that extra chances are dwindling.

    Continue to show patience and care in how we approach teaching. At the end of the year, we want our students to love learning. How can we change the mindset of a few of our students that learning is fun, that they have the capacity to learn, and all the materials in our classes are accessible with the right scaffolding? The end of the year should be about optimistic hope for what the next scholastic year will bring. Let’s reflect on how our classrooms build towards that.

    Student Behavior

    As spring comes in, and the sun comes out, please make sure that students are aware that they can have AND be successful in class. We spent so much time at the start of the year building norms, please continue to hold strong as students begin to push back a little. Some agreements from the beginning of the year to remember:

    • All students require passes to leave class
    • Report chronic absenteeism or tardiness to admin
    • All staff should ask students in the hallway that are loitering to head to their classes. Our personal favorite for questions includes, “Hi, what are you working on?”
    • Accurate attendance is required as part of the job. Help us keep students accountable for their presence!

    School has felt productive and strong so far in the spring. Let’s continue to adhere to our agreements and standards and our students will thank us for it. :)

     -Congrats on Mr. Kealey receiving the staff bear. Ms. Cushing cited your abilities to make excellent lesson plans that grab the attention of your students. Way to go!

    -Thank you to everyone who made it out to East Brother on Friday! Not only did you have some fun social times with teachers, but you received money to fun your classrooms.

    -Thank you Mock Trial for putting on a fun end-of-year party at San Pablo Library. Your hard work has been seen!

    -English teachers! You took on the first week of SBAC in a fearless manner and led your students to be focused and hard working. Thank you for being with them and supporting them through the early SBAC process.

    -Sometimes when we are tired we can’t see the impact we have made. 4th Quarter is where, through reflection, we get to understand the impact we have had on growing our students and helping them realize their potential. Keep that in mind!

    -Thank you to everyone who put students first in allowing us to host the High School Nation concert. The students loved it, and those who missed it thought twice on making sure they attend school consistently. :)
