Earlier this week, selected Woodlawn teachers and I participated in the second session of our Common Core Standards discussion across the middle school consortium. We made outstanding progress toward a common understanding of what English/LA will look like for all students entering SHS. Former Woodlawn Assistant Principal Jeanne Spiller was the moderator for this event which provided guidance to over 120 educators. I will have more information in future blog entries regarding The Common Core Standards and something that I am a huge advocate of, Standards Based Report Cards.
Our Halloween Party is going to be totally wicked! Next week, students will be able to purchase tickets to the Halloween Party during all lunch periods. Students can also purchase tickets on the night of the event. This is a great event and I hope our turnout is better than ever! Check out the link to the PTO newsletter at the top of this page! Everyone and anyone can donate a gently used coat to our coat drive. The final evening to donate is at the Halloween Party.
Students can wear their Halloween costumes to school on Monday, October 31st.
All costumes must follow these guidelines:
• Appropriate for school (No blood & guts)
• No weapons
• Adheres to our school dress code
District 96 Trivia Night has a whole new look this year! The winning team will receive 5 iPads that they can donate to the school of their choice. Get the word out to your friends and put a table together. This is a really fun event and now the reward will benefit our students!
