January 15, 2021 PD follow-up

Good morning-

Thank you for your time and participation in the Equity in AHS PD.

Here are the links to the documents we used. Please feel free to add to the Jamboards throughout the rest of the afternoon. As I said at the close of the session, I agree that hiring a more diverse staff is a priority. The focus of this activity is to think equity interventions we, as a faculty, can focus on. We will continue this discussion at the February 11 Faculty meeting.

Good afternoon- Thanks to everyone who helped to make New Student Orientation a success last night. It was great to see so many students and staff in the building. I am looking forward to seeing you all on Monday. We start at 8AM in the auditorium. There will be some members of the Class of 2026 painting their parking spots on Monday afternoon. Please try to park in the faculty parking lot or in the back of the building if you usually park in the student section. New staff, please join the staff Google Classroom . All information sent to faculty/staff will be housed here. The class code is a5ca6a4. The custodians have been working hard to make sure each classroom has the correct number of desks (minus study halls). There may be a few classrooms off a desk or two based on student moves at the end of this week. If anyone has furniture in their rooms that is not being used, please let me know. We are short some L-shaped desks, under-desk file cabinets, and bookcases....

Good afternoon- I hope you have been able to dig out from the storm. Tomorrow is sure to be a little chaotic, and I fully predict we will have students who don't understand the exam schedule changes and families who may keep their students home. We will need to be flexible! Stay warm! Here is the schedule for tomorrow: G block exam: 10:30 am- 12 pm Lunch: 1st (12:05-12:35) - English, math, & science 2nd (12:40-1:10) - history, world language, unified arts, special education, ELL & wellness Students will need to be asked to remain in their class for first lunch and return to the class they were testing in for second lunch. We will do our best with this but are not going to stress about kids being elsewhere. We have no way of knowing how many G block students are staying for A block. A block exam: 1:15 pm- 2:45 pm Along with the updated midyear exam schedule . Grades for Term 2 will close on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, a...
