April 20
We hope everyone had a wonderful spring break.
Congratulations to our Humanities Magnet for earning the Dr. Ronald P. Simpson School of Excellence Award, considered the most prestigious award for magnet schools in the nation as determined by Magnets Schools of America.
Phone-Free School Day Implementation Plan: As a reminder, we are in Phase 2 of our Phone-Free School Day implementation plan. Phones and other smart devices must be turned off, placed in the Yondr pouch, and kept in a bag or backpack during school hours, including nutrition and lunch. Students who adhere to the Phone-Free School Day policy will not need to have pouches locked. We have pin stoppers available in the Main Office to prevent accidental locking of pouches. Any student who chooses to violate the policy will have pouches locked for the remainder of the school day. Students who forget their pouches will have phones stored in the Main Office for the school day.
SBA Testing: Eleventh grade students in both magnets, along with residential students taking AP classes, will participate in state testing April 22 and April 23. All students in the residential school not enrolled in AP classes will participate in State testing April 29 and April 30. Science testing for all 11th grade students and seniors who did not take the CAST last year will be May 1 and May 2 through science classes. Our scores always count, but this year’s scores will be of particular importance as we will be up for affiliated charter renewal next school year.
Tuesday Professional Development Schedule: Every Tuesday, we will be on a professional development (PD) early dismissal schedule. On Tuesdays, period 1 begins at 8:30 AM and period 6 ends at 2:38 PM.
