Parent Message 1-31
Good evening, Clipper families. This is Principal Savage with your weekly message.
As we begin this week teachers will have professional development tomorrow to prepare for our hybrid return on the 16th. The 16th will bring a new type of classroom set up with some students in the classroom and some students on zoom.
There will be no meal service on tomorrow since it is not a school day for students.
On Tuesday students will be starting their semester 2 schedule. If students are unsure of what classes they have, they can view their schedule on the family portal. Viewing Student Schedule on the Family and Student Portal.pdf We will also start our 4-lunch shift rotation on Tuesday. Student lunch shifts will be posted in their 3rd period google classroom. Lunch shifts are based on classroom locations. The semester 2 schedule is attached. WCPS In Person Schedule High School - S2 (New).docx
At this point we have finalized a list of students who will be attending in person. If you selected to attend but did not complete the covid agreement you have now been switched to virtual. Those who have chosen to return will receive a phone call and email on Monday with information about which day they will be attending. We will have a group of students attending Monday/Tuesday and a group on Thursday/Friday. Wednesday will continue to be asynchronous. Any additional requests to attend in person from this point forward will be reviewed on a case by case bases to determine whether transportation and classroom spacing are available. Transportation information with be forth coming as routes are currently being developed to accommodate for spacing on the buses.
Since the first semester has ended, we will provide an opportunity for students to return their first semester textbooks this Wednesday from 9-11 and from 1-3. The drop off will be in the auditorium parking lot at the A-Wing entrance.
Report cards will become available at 3:00 on Thursday. Viewing Student and Parent Published Reports.pdf
Can you believe tomorrow is February? Speaking of February, did you know February is Black History month celebrating the history and contributions of African Americans? February may be the shortest month but is also has several special days. As second semester begins on Tuesday it will be Groundhog’s Day. Valentine’s Day is on the 14th. Schools are closed on the 15th for President’s Day and during this month of February we will hit the 100th day of school mile marker.
Don’t forget to check for those report cards on Thursday. Have a great evening and enjoy your extended weekend. Bulletin:JMB Weekly Bulletin February 1.pdf Marking Term Notes Jan Feb 2021.jpg
