11/18

Hello parents/guardians (insert names here)
There's a lot of info here; please read it all because it contains important information about the end of the semester!

First, we have Presentations of Learning coming up (there's a description coming furhter down).  I will be scheduled to present on either Wed Dec 17th or Thursday Dec 18th. You can see my precise schedule by clicking CLICK HERE.

 If I am asked to present again, I must return to school to present on Friday Dec 19th (last day of the semester). If I am not asked to present again, I don't have to be at school on Friday.

POLS are mandatory.  If for some reason we know that I can't be here for those last three days of the semester, Matt needs to know as soon as possible so he can find an alternate time for me to present.  However it is not guaranteed that we can re-schedule, as POLS are mandatory except for extreme extenuating circumstances.

Presentations of Learning are how we show our teachers and peers that we have mastered grade-level content.  It is a fifteen-minute oral presentation that we create using our digital portfolio and showing how we have grown intellectually and personally.  Family/guardians are invited but not required to attend the POL. I will have to be in professional dress, just like an exhibition, in order to present.  We will spend two days in school preparing for POLs and my exact schedule will be given to you

Matt, my Humanities teacher, created a google calendar so it should be easier to follow along what our due dates are other important dates like Exhibitions.  If you click on the listed event there is also a pop-up with more information about the due date or the event (like when and where the Exhibitions are). You can see the calendar by clicking on the link right here.  CLICK HERE
You can also access the calendar by going to Matt's digital portfolio
