Good Morning,

I hope this update finds you well and enjoying our first snowy day off! Included in this update:

FLC visit
Finals
Parent Work Crew
Snow Closure Info

FLC Visit

Students in the teacher education program from Ft. Lewis will be observing AHS students and teachers in action! Professor Richard Fulton and his class were scheduled to observe today, December 8th and will re-schedule time with us before the holiday recess. FLC students will be observing and rating the quality of instruction and assessing the 21st Century competencies fostered at AHS. We look forward to the outcomes of this experience and the resultant data that will be generated through their visit. Observations are scheduled for one hour in first period classes.

Finals
Student finals are this week and we proceed with our exam schedule on Wed. Dec. 9th, 2009. Tuesday’s finals will be administered on Wed. We need to stay on schedule with finals so that we are ready to go with POLs next week. Make sure to ask your student about their finals and stay tuned for more info regarding POLs in next week’s update.

Parent Work Crew
We know your student has told you all about the wonderful times spent on Thursday afternoon work crew and we don’t want our parents to be left out. We are looking for parents/guardians who are available to work Sat. mornings over the next two weekends. You’ll meet HOS Michael Ackerman and work from 9 AM to 12 PM attending to some very important projects. Looking for folks with a strong back, positive attitude and some time to give to AHS! Please contact PAC@animashighschool.com with your interest and availability. (we would love some assistance from those of you with pick-ups and trailers) Thanks!

Snow Closure Procedures- please make sure you are familiar with these procedures!
