IB Learner Profile Attribute for JANUARY
PRINCIPLED and COMMUNICATOR
If you would like to be read a book for the morning news show which exemplifies our attributes for January, please email Bearden.
Please take a moment to complete the 60 second survey regarding your usage of Mystery Science & Ask Doug! Let us know if you use it!
https://forms.gle/gp2s1VA4BD7NzLEs7
Please remember that we are required to wear our identification badges at all times for your safety and the safety of others! If you have lost or misplaced or simply want a new picture, the Central Office hours of operation are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 8am-10am OR 2pm-3pm. Please let DiBartolo or Pitchford know if you need to get a badge so we can make sure positions are covered. Thanks.
Below are our achievement scores in ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies for all students and subgroups. While we made a huge jump this past year, there is no reason why we can't climb any higher. We should not have any less than 80% of our students scoring a level 2, 3, or 4 on the GMAS. This is doable!!!!
If you have not already done so, please complete this 31 question survey (3 minutes long) which gives us our school's Climate Rating. EVERYONE at this school has to complete this survey.
Please remember that #14 and #17 are worded the opposite of the other questions.
If you feel the need to answer "strongly disagree" to the majority of the questions, please see Pitchford before you submit this survey. This is a state survey so results will not be shared and action can not be taken. In order to evoke change, the conversation needs to be had at the school level rather than through this survey. Thank you so much!!!!
