Please extend my kudos to the students for their overall positive spirit, participation, and hard work during homecoming week. Want to also thank the many staff individuals that came together in making this past week a very successful one....certainly shows the strength and power when we all come together for that common purpose...our students!
Donation: Kapaa High is again fortunate to receive it's second donation within a few days. State Farm Insurance has donated $750 to help support the school. Funds will support the Science Dept for as you are aware, the new proposed Board of Education policy 4540 will call for specific science courses that students will need for their graduation (starting with Class of 2018 - 25 credits) requirements.
Hawaii State On-line Assessment (HSA): Reminder that the HSA will be from October 18, 2010 - May 20, 2011. Plans are to administer the Mathematics assessment over the next two weeks this month followed by English in later November and early December. Reminder that this new process allows teachers to get immediate feedback as to their students' progress and allows for re-teaching. I will be discussing the format of the HSA at Wednesday's faculty mtg as it involves other content areas..... so it is critical that each Dept is ensuring that are addressing the HCPS III.
Classroom visitations: Administration will be doing classroom visitations/observations throughout this week.
East & Central Administrators' mtg: I will be attending the East & Central Complex mtg on Monday Oct.18th from 7:00 - 9:00 a.m.
PTSA Board mtg: Monday Oct. 18th 6:30 p.m. @Student Center
School Community Council mtg: Tuesday, Oct. 19th 1:30 p.m. @Student Center
Faculty mtg: Wednesday, Oct. 20th 1:50 p.m. @Chorus Room
That's it and have a great week!
