Monarch Memo: August 15 - 19, 2016

Monarch Staff:

Thank you for the warm welcome to Monte Vista this past week.  It is wonderful to learn names,faces and just become familiar with the campus. This “Monarch Memo” that I am sending will come to you weekly in lieu of a voice message each week.

My goal is to keep it brief and just provide reminders or key information about the upcoming week.  I prefer sending this memo instead of dozens of reminder emails over the course of the week.  In addition, I will cut and paste the all call messages home to students each Sunday so you have a copy.  Thank you in advance for reading the Monarch Memo each week. See you tomorrow.  

Reminders

Attendance:  Please take attendance from day one (tomorrow) on-line.  

Schedules:  Send a student to Guidance if. . .

• they are not on your roster
• have 2 classes scheduled in the same period
• have a hole in their schedule (example - missing period 3)

Duplicating: No duplicating walk-ups on the first day of school.

From RAD - just in case you didn’t get to all of your emails

Teachers:

Just a friendly reminder to NOT tell/promise any students that they can fit in your classes when the student is not enrolled.

PLEASE do not send students to guidance to see if they can fit in your class(es), and do not make promises to students about getting into your class(es).

Deanna and the counselors have worked very hard to not only balance classes, but balance SPED students in collab classes, get students into CTE classes, and the like.  They are looking at the schedules and student placement from a school-wide perspective and doing their best to keep classes at 38-1 for regular classes and 32-1 for collab classes.
