AHS Weekly Update- Week of April 27, 2010



Greetings Animas High Community,

Please take a second to review the following weekly updates:

Office Hours
AHS Bonanza
Final Exhibition

Office Hours

Just a reminder that teacher’s office hours are all posted on their digital portfolios. Head of School Michael Ackerman holds office hours the second and fourth Monday of each month. HOS office hours for May will be 8:30-11:30 on May 10th and 24th. A master list of all teachers’ office hours is posted in the main office at AHS as well as on our website and on the HOS blog.

AHS Bonanza

May is Bonanza season at AHS! Bonanza is the name given to the process of vetting new hires at Animas High. Students and staff will spend May meeting candidates that have applied for the various teaching and admin positions available at school next year. Candidates are invited to AHS for the day, interview with staff and student ambassadors, teach a one hour sample lesson and spend additional time meeting with the administration. Once a candidate has participated in the Bonanza experience, our community discusses their qualities, strengths and overall presentation. Collectively, we identify the strongest candidates and share feedback and recommendations with the Head of School. We are excited for this year’s Bonanza events and look forward to welcoming prospective staff members to our school!

Final Exhibition

Just a reminder that Animas High’s Final Exhibition will be held on May 6th, 2010 from 5:30 to 6:45 PM. The faculty will be meeting this week to solidify the location for the Exhibition. Stay tuned!
