Please see all the attached information if your student is interested in entering. I wanted to get the Martin Luther King contest info out to you right away so you could get this opportunity out to your students right away. The theme this year is - Justice is Love Out Loud– The handouts have all the contest info in detail as well as the contest entry form that needs to be attached to each entry. The one most important deadline for you is Friday, November 5th – That is the day all entries are due to me. I will send the 3 finalists in each category to Marquis Harris by Friday, November 12th. As in the past, each project that is handed in needs a written statement explaining their work, even the written work. There is more detail about this in the handouts and it is attached to the project along with the Entry form (it is at the bottom of the entry form). There is also rubrics for each so students can see what they are judged on. Other dates – Monday, December 6th – Semi-finalists in written work, visual arts/multi-media will be announced Monday, December 13th – Public Viewing (5-6:15) and Final Judging (6:30-7:30) at the Instructional Resource Center.

We would love to have more entries from North this year as it is such a great competition for our students!!!!!!! If you have any questions please contact me! Again this is a great opportunity for our kids to express themselves and get involved. It would be a great assignment for you to assign to your classes as well.

Freshman Health on Edgenuity10/17/2021 
Good morning, I just wanted to send out an email about your students online health course through Edgenuity. As a general reminder, this course is worth a quarter of their semester grade (per district requirement). Your child must complete the course entirely to receive a grade at the end of the semester. The due date is November 28th. The entire course takes about 22-25 hours to complete. They are watching/listening to videos, completing assignments, and taking quizzes/tests. Your child must pass all required assignments/quizzes/tests with a 60% or above in order to move on. The grade they will receive at the end, will be an actual grade reflected by how they did throughout the course. We have spoke with our freshmen about this and they have all logged on and began working. We have also allowed them the opportunity to choose to work on it during class 1 day per week. I have attached the pacing guide so you can see where the students should be each week. They will have until the actual end of the semester to finish, the pacing guide is set for the 11/28 end date for our regular freshmen PE courses! They have been given guided notes to help them keep on track on all the information. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any of our PE instructors. Many students are behind and will need to spend time getting caught up. In order to keep the students on track, we as a PE staff our taking points if the student hasn’t met the pacing guide. Each Friday we record their score and then give them the weekend to catch up if need. Come Monday, if your student is still behind, we are taking 5-10 of their 50 weekly points. This is treated as if it were homework in a normal class. We will reward the students at the end for finishing on time to make up for their lost weekly points therefore they are not punished for the overall course. We will and currently do, work with students who have been sick, absent, or had an extenuating circumstance.
