Good afternoon and happy Friday,
It was a great first full week of school for the year. I am sure your students are as exhausted as some of us are.
X-block:
We were excited to kick off X-block this week. Students should go in to FlexTime Manager this weekend to choose activities for the coming week. The student training video is attached here. X-block provides an opportunity for students to get what they need to have success in school. It could be extra help, a study session, or a break from academics to do some movement. Our counseling department is offering virtual college and career meetings. The opportunities are endless and we encourage students to bring ideas to their teachers.
Masks:
Please reinforce with your student that masks are required. We are seeing many more students wearing their masks improperly or arriving at school without a mask. Students have had time to learn the expectation and any student who is repeatedly asked to wear their mask will face progressive discipline. This is a state mandate and not optional. Please set an example for your students about how to follow an expectation, even when you don't agree with it.
Reminder of attendance policy for students participating in athletics and activities:
Attendance/Tardiness – School
Any student absent from school may not participate in or attend practice or competition that day, unless prior approval of the Principal has been given. Students must be in attendance at school before 9:33 AM to participate in any meeting, practice or game unless prior approval for absence is granted by the Principal or designee. In addition, student-athletes may not be dismissed prior to 1:49 PM unless prior approval of the Principal has been given.
Driving hours are not an excused absence. Only the permit or driving test are excused. Leaving for a driving lesson is considered unexcused and students will not be able to participate in after school activities.
I am very excited to share the following event with you. Jennifer De Leon's book "Don't Ask Me Where I Am From" was on the summer reading list.
at the Ashland High School
Have a wonderful weekend!
