Announcements: 

1. Smelling Pretty: We all appreciate your desire to smell good when you come to school, and maintain that fresh scent throughout the day. Personal hygiene is very important! However, those with asthma and allergies cannot handle the constant reapplying of your Secrets and Body Works scents. Also, it can be, AND IS very annoying to those around you. Do NOT spray or apply ANYTHING in the QR's OR in the hallway. First offense: it will be removed but you can get it back. Second offense: it will be thrown out.
2. Your Cubes: the following items are NOT to be seen in your cubes--food, cell phones (no you CANNOT CHARGE YOUR PHONE IN YOUR CUBES!) and pretty pretty smelling sprays/lotions. REMOVE THEM IMMEDIATELY. 
3. IL Grades: if you are unhappy with the present state of your IL grade...a few suggestions: 1) DO THE WORK TRACKERS. Yes, these should be done throughout the week AND turned in FRIDAY. That's the way it is. 2) Take the reflection section on the trackers seriously. Doing self assessments on your learning--how you're doing/ what you need more help with, etc--is an IL skill--use it. 3) DO THE SELF ASSESSMENT SURVEY ON FRIDAYS. Just do it. 4) Try and work in a Study Group. If you have any questions/concerns/confusion email Warren.
4. Sign out. 
5. STUDY CLUB TODAY. 

Make it a cool one!

Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement. - Golda Meir

Good morning Class of 2016,

Week 6 is coming to a close.Take a hard look at what you need to do in order to end this week successfully. You can be successful, if you make realistic plans and force yourself to stick to them. 

Speak with your teachers about your progress in your courses and make an effort to prepare for courses well in advance of the time for the actual course.  The trimester will eventually come to a close and you must prepare now in order for you to be happy with the end results.

Picture Retake Day
