ANNOUNCEMENTS

GHS will have a modified schedule NEXT THURSDAY, the 15th for the addition of homeroom. Click HERE for the link to the schedule.  You may need to work a modified day next Thursday - especially if you are a Kaiser intern.

LHS - NEXT THURSDAY, THE 15TH IS your district writing assessment day.  Please check school loop to find out what time you need to be at school.  I have all of the info posted in my classroom.  Please also let site know if you will not be going that day.  I would assume this impacts my morning students more than my afternoon.  Remember if you plan on changing your hours that day or not going to site you MUST email me, your parent and your site supervisor.  Thank you.

GHS - Thursday, January the 22nd is your district writing assessment! Please see the attached schedule HERE to see what time you need to be where. Remember if you plan on changing your hours that day or not going to site you MUST email me, your parent and your site supervisor.  Thank you.

EVERYONE - No school on Monday, January 19th - however this would be a great day for you to pick up extra hours at site if site is open.  Please email me, your parent, and your site supervisor if you plan to work on this non school day.  Thank you.

AVHS/FHS - You have finals the week of January 20th, 21st, 22nd.  The 22nd would be the final for my class.  Since you will not be in class with me that day I would encourage you to pick up extra hours at your site that Thursday.  If you do so please email me, your parent, and your site supervisor.  In addition you have no school scheduled for Friday but I still expect you to be at site.  You may modify your schedule (ie; go in early to get off early) as long as you get the ok with your supervisor and you email me and a parent.*

DHS - You have finals the week of January 21st, 22nd, and 23rd.  You may continue to go to site or you may modify your schedule.  If you choose to modify please email me, your parent, and your site supervisor.*

* REMEMBER - If you are missing days then you are missing hours and you will need to come up with a plan to make up those hours if you have not already banked  some!

PEER TUTORING

All GHS students interested in peer tutoring please click HERE.  You can earn extra classroom hours by participating! 

HOMEWORK

• Gameboard is due February 25th - it sounds like a lot of time but remember we only meet once a week and I have a couple of guest speakers coming in.  Please use the time I give you in class wisely! 
• QUIZ/TEST - There will be a quiz/test on your entire Medical Terminology packet (don't freak out - the one we have had since the beginning of trimester 2, not the super big one) next Wednesday.  Use that packet as your study guide!

TIMESHEETS

Many students are forgetting to get their timesheets signed or leaving them at home.  This is a ZERO out of 25 points for the week. This is not good for you.   Remember in the real world no time sheet = no paycheck! At MedOccs no timesheet = no points.  

UNIFORM

Unfortunately I have had three students out of compliance and this is unacceptable.  I am very clear what the uniform standards are. You and your parents all signed contracts.  This includes the NO CELL PHONE policy.  I saw far too many phones in class today.  Do NOT get lazy.  It will impact your grade and has the potential to get you pulled from site.  

JOURNALS

I will check journals periodically in class and at site.  Note to self - Make sure they are updated!
