I hope everyone had a restful vacation. Those of us who went to JEA had an AMAZING time!
Testing begins this week. Grades 9, 10, and 11 test Tuesday AND Wednesday. Grade 10 tests on Thursday (that means that grades 9, 11 and 12 have a regular schedule). Next week grades 9, 10 and 11 test on Wednesday. All other days are regular schedule for all grades.
Even though we have testing this week, you are expected to continue working on your stories. Your deadlines are still in effect.
Before vacation, you read some information about Overland High School's newspaper and its ongoing struggle to be published. At JEA I met an adviser from a neighboring school whose program is also being threatened. Now, the principal at Overland has issued an apology for using the work of others without attribution in his monthly updates to the community.
Ms. Taylor Oliva will be in for me tomorrow as I head off to Skywalker Ranch! WooHoo! Really, I'm there to meet the folks at Edutopia, but still....
