We will host first round basketball tournament games on Monday. Our 7th Grade "b" team will play as will all the other schools in our league, games will run into the evening. 7th and 8th grade "a" teams will play at other schools on Tuesday and Thursday.
We will run our assembly schedule on Thursday, so that we can hold the holiday concert at 1:30. This will be a tier I activity so students must be on tier I, with no over dues and have an ID to attend the concert. Each team should have a plan for those who are not able to attend.
Errin Corstange class will have a pizza party in her classroom with her advisory class at 2:00. Her class had the greatest participation in the Hungry Howies fundraiser last month. She will provide a list of names of students who will be attending.
Our annual subscription to EdClass is due and Atiba tells me it is used very infrequently, so I am not planning to renew. If this is not the case please let me know.
All students should have been provided their grade level data for math and reading as indicated on the EdPerformance reports. This information is to be placed in their student planner as a means of reinforcing the information.
Thursday is the last day of the student advisory food drive which funnels into the greater Kalamazoo food drive. Keep promoting this in your advisory classes.
Points up reinforcement is scheduled this week. I have to make one change to Steve's posted plan. 7/8 team will do points up on Friday, 6th period. They were scheduled for Thursday, but we had to reschedule the concert, and it would be too much to do it all on the same day. This activity is for academic reinforcement. We will not impose the typical Tier I expectations, IDs and no overdue library books.
There is a sign up on the office door for the holiday luncheon. Bring a dish and enjoy lunch this day in the staff lounge.
We have a leadership meeting this week in Carlotta's room. There will be a dinner, promise!
If you would like to come into the building over the break, please see me. There will not be much custodial coverage over the two weeks.

We will meet for a 1 hour staff meeting Monday after school.
New student schedules are in you mailboxes. 1st day of a new marking period, have the students make a back-up copy in their planner (new ones are provided). Do not send students down to teh students center because they don't like their schedule. If there is a structural problem, i.e, missing a 3rd hour, then a student needs to see a counselor to get it resolved. E-mail a counselor and let them know a student wants to see them or have the students fill out a counselor request in the main office.
We will finalize planning for the points up recognition for the second marking period. This event will take place next week during 7th period. Each team will have a designated day for this event similar to what we did 1st marking period. We'll give you an update as soon as plans are finalized.
Most staff who nominated student for a Merit Recognition, weren't able to be present because of your class schedule. You should know, however, that the program was very nicely done and it was very powerful to read aloud all the wonderful things you had to say about our students.
