Announcements 5/4
1. Good morning, Cougs...today is Monday, May 4th. May the 4th be with you! Please continue to walk right and talk right while keeping to a level 1 volume and staying within your personal bubble. The student store is open today, so continue to take responsibility for keeping the cafeteria clean, socializing at a level 1 volume, staying seated until released for honor time, and transitioning from honor time to class at a level 1 volume. This is a reminder that your toys should remain in your locker or toy box at home. This was shared with families on Friday and it is expected that you engage in learning and leave toys, stuffed animals, etc. at home. Also, please continue to keep your cell phones and wireless headphones/earbuds stored away. Make it happen, Cougs!
2. Please complete our April Sense of Belonging survey in your grade level Schoology folder at some point this week. The survey takes about 2-3 minutes and provides our team with valuable data to support growth in ensuring all students feel connected and that they belong as a part of Cougar Nation.
3. The final opportunity to purchase a yearbook is now. Yearbooks are on sale for $35 online. You can also bring cash or a check and pay our bookkeeper directly. Shoutout to Mr. Miller and the Yearbook class for making this year's yearbook unforgettable.
4. This is a reminder that we will begin state testing tomorrow. We will be running the same bell schedule on Tuesday and Thursday that we have for iReady testing, with lunches based on your 3rd period teacher. Tomorrow will be the ELA PT Test, and Thursday will be the ELA CAT Test. Be prepared with a fully charged Chromebook, get a good night's sleep, eat a protein-packed breakfast, and be a persevering problem solver. Remember that Mr. G is throwing in the following incentives. If as a school, we improve our overall Math and ELA proficiency percentage by 3% a grade level representative will get to pie me in the face at our final assembly with no protective coverings. If we increase by 6% we will provide ice cream for all students again, and if we improve by 9% the student body will vote for Mr. G's fit for the last day of school. Give your best and don't stress!
