FACULTY

TIDBIT OF THE DAY: Use apples to apples comparisons. Comparisons are most informative when conditions are similar. Schools with students from high-performing communities often take great satisfaction in “comparing” the performance of their students to state averages, but such comparisons do little to promote improvement. If a school places students into classrooms on basis of multiple ability groups, it accomplishes little to compare the performance of students in the highest group to those in the lowest. Equivalent situations yield the most meaningful comparisons. (Radford)

REMINDER TO ALL 10TH GRADE ENGLISH TEACHERS: The counselors will be coming to your classrooms on Thursday, September 10th to conduct sophomore class presentations. Please check your first class and mailbox for a copy of the schedule. Thank you. (Tara Z.)

PRINTING ISSUES: Teachers you may want to do a print preview before sending a print job to the Library 8100. We are getting excessive numbers of print jobs with just print code across the top of the paper. You can call the library 476-4230 to check if your print job has printed. Thank you Ms. R.

STAFF: This is just a reminder for staff members who park behind the school in the upper lot near the bleachers, please do not park in front of garage doors. Thank you. (Zamudio)
