MM 9 January 2020

Welcome back! We're happy to see each one of you. Yes, it's a weird week: two days, and on a Thursday and Friday! The extra days off for students gave staff a few days to prep, which was welcome, but it also means we have something unprecedented ahead of us: a full day for all students on Friday! So let's roll with it, be productive, and have some fun along the way. 

General announcements

• ICAP scaffolding shift: we decided to spread out the ICAP requirements for each color of the road, placing a slightly higher emphasis on completing these credits in the Green to give students more autonomy and allow them to work on these credits with the goal-based contract, rather than through the points contracts. The breakdown will now be as follows: 
  • White: Discovery and Technology
  • Red: Personal Finance
  • Yellow Work Experience
  • Green: Service Learning, College & Careers, Senior Seminar, Advisory
• CMC enrollment-Paperwork needs to be turned in this week
• If you leave your laptop out, expect to be asked to complete some work around the school to earn it back! This will both support the school’s cleanliness and hopefully encourage you to put your laptop away :)
• Reminder about using the kitchen:
  • During class: get a pass from your teacher (give to Karen afterwards)
  • During lunch: sign up on the white board outside Christine’s office
• If you are planning on graduating this May, please join us for a senior meeting Monday during ICAP`
