Hello my favorite party shamrockers! Did you know that the end of first semester is rapidly approaching and there are only a few more days to review, stay for Late Buses, and turn in any missing assignments? Utilize your resources including Late Bus/Early Bus and Lunch Bunch. Make a study date at the library. Set aside some time to prepare. Next week Thursday (1/12/12) you will all be going to one of my favorite places in the world...Camp Sunrise. I can't decide if I want it to snow so we can go sledding, cross country skiiing, and play broom ball or if I relish more the near 50 degree weather we are having. Whatever the case, make sure to dress appropriately and get excited.
The following week (1/16-1/20) is the week of Finals! We do not have school on Monday in observation of MLK Day. Tuesday is the last day for class review and finals begin Wednesday. So pay attention in the class the next few days, take copious notes, check you grade sheets, and complete your make-up work! Come check out the bulletin board outide the psych office for test taking and study tips and tools. Also congratulate and give well wishes to some of our seniors who will be graduating at the semester's end.
The following week (1/23/12) you do not have school on Monday due to a Teacher Institute Day. So sleep in and enjoy your time off, while staff learn ways to become better and more effective educators. Also, your next half day will be February 14th because we just love staff development. Get the play on words? Make your Valentine's Day Plans now! There is a revised early release schedule for the remainder of the school year, so please see the ASOU website for more details.
Have a fabulous weekend. Do something nice for someone. Do something nice for yourself. Take care party shamrockers!
