The final week of the semester is here. Wow! That was fast! It’s like we just got started. Whatever the case I’m excited about the upcoming Christmas Holiday. It is important that we all finish strong this week. We’ll be busy with finals and I know many of you will have a mixture of students taking finals and those that are exempt. This will not be a time to allow students to leave your classroom. Remember we only allow them to leave to go to the restroom.
This is also a good week to have individual meetings with students about their grades. We have to work with them as much as possible to ensure their overall success. It takes work and it can be difficult to bring them all to mastery but it’s why we are all here.
We have all been hard at it for a while so let’s all wear jeans Tuesday-Friday. Please see Nicholette’s email about this week’s schedule as well as the final exam schedule.
I will be sending out the professional development schedule for Jan. 2nd. As I told you earlier we’ll have some learning time as well as time to work with your departments and teams and time in your classroom. It’s important that you have time to plan.
The holiday season is time to reflect on things that are most important. I know it is so easy to get caught into the hectic portion of it all. Think about the things that you are most thankful for in your life and smile. Also take time to think about our students. Some of them will not want to leave for 2 weeks. Why? Because to many of them Naaman and the staff that are here are the best thing they have in their life.
Finish strong and make this week great!
We Are Naaman
Don’t forget about #RangerChat tonight (Monday) at 7 pm.
