In the News This Week:
- This week, we have been busy wrapping up projects/performances for the end of term 2, and the end of semester 2! Students are working on finalizing work for final grades, and preparing for assessments that will inform teachers as to what gaps we may need to focus on for the upcoming semester.
- Ms. McGillicuddy and Mr. Quental will be saying farewell to their students at Watson and Tansey, respectively and swapping schools for the second half of the school year. We wish them the best! It's like September- IN JANUARY!
- Ms. Zema will be leading the Durfee Community Based Students in their Evening Performance on Wednesday, January 16th at 6:30 PM in room 35! So excited to see our kids performing in this show- a mix or "Variety" of instrumental classes will come together to perform for their families and friends! Hope to see you there!
- Here are a few Durfee Specific Details regarding scheduling for student electives from Shayna Morgan...
Next week we will be doing more scheduling to get ready for the 2019 - 2020 school year.
- On Tuesday, January 15 we are having Freshman Science classes, Sophomore History classes and Junior English classes show a brief Video and grade level PowerPoint (will be sent soon) to their classes. Students should then be given time to use their phones to log into their X2 accounts and choose electives
- On Wednesday, January 16 we ask that classes take about 15 minutes to give an overview of the electives offered in your department. Please see your Dean/Director for more information on these offerings.
- On Friday, January 18 we are going to cancel advisory and extend Period 1 and have all teachers review course selections with their Period 1 students (lesson TBD)
- During this week, from Tuesday through Friday, counselors and tech staff will be present in the Cafeteria during lunch to help with any questions and technical issues
