Hello Bobcats!
In a previous message, I shared that we are reviewing the current Late Work/Reassessment Guidelines implemented at the start of this school year. Here is an update on where we are in the process. Our admin team met to discuss and revise the guidelines; we will send out to some of our School Advisory Council members for review and comment; our teachers will provide feedback, and our student leaders will review. It is our goal to have a final revised late work/reassessment guideline ready to go for the 2nd quarter. We appreciate your patience as we make sure stakeholders have input in this matter and our students are successful.
Recently, Dr. McDade shared a title of a book, "The Anxious Generation" by Jonathan Haidt, which grounded the division's student no cell phone usage during the school day. The book discusses the harm social media has on the underdeveloped minds of our youth; it also contains some steps to refocus our students. Here is the website https://www.anxiousgeneration.com if you would like to learn more about the call to action.
Finally, I would like to share the immense joy I have in seeing the students throughout the school day. There are students who provide morning announcements, students who share their positive news with me, and students who advocate for themselves. They make me proud to be their principal and I am excited to see how they will impact the global society in the future.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Warm Regards,
Principal Lucas
