Weekly News and Notes

This week will be very brief - information overload, at this stage of the game, is not a good thing!

First, you should have received an invitation to graduation. If you plan on attending, please let us know ASAP. I'm working on the seating arrangements and some of the other logistics. Fortunately, Sharon "Graduation Guru" Guilfoil has it all committed to memory!

Next, to those who helped out on the Body Image Project: Wow. The male program was factual, helpful, and enlightening, and the female program was extremely personal - and gratifying, particularly as the students in the audience gave that standing ovation - those of you who were there know what I'm talking about! It was a great moment for our student body.

Some news:

Positions have been posted for teaching positions in music, video production, Spanish, English, and social studies. If you are interested in any being on the screening committees for any of those teaching positions, please let me know by the end of next week. We would like 2-3 teachers, the new department leader, and a couple of students for each of the committees. Ideally, all of our hiring will be accomplished in June, so we can move forward with...

THE SCHEDULE!

Okay, so the schedule is a little behind, admittedly, but we are hoping to have class assignments ready for staff in the next week or so, after conferring with department heads. As we have a better handle on numbers, we'll let you all know!

As an aside - if you just click "automatic schedule" and don't assign the sections to particular teachers, it does some funny things!

Handbook Committee

The Handbook Committee is working hard on getting some revisions together for next year. As those are available and approved, we will hopefully have a workable document. There are some ideas that are still being tossed around, but the changes should be finalized in a week or so.

Field Trips

Unless a field trip has already met approval, no further field trips for 2012-13 will be sanctioned.

To those at the prom, enjoy! Good luck with senior exams!
