STUDENT SECTION
SCHOOL WISDOM OF THE DAY: Material to be memorized should be studied just prior to bedtime, and not followed by TV or other distractions that would crowd out the “programming” of your mental computer memory bank. (Radford)
STUDENTS: Summer job opportunity!!!! The San Diego KOA needs students for the summer. The wage is between $8.00 to $8.50 an hour. 3 different type of activities. 1) general duties such as supervising crafts, bingo, assisting with pancake breakfasts, etc 2) working the front desk, meaning taking reservations, registering incoming guests, etc. and 3) cabin cleaning - you know what that entails! Great experience, perfect hours, and at $8 bucks an hour, can't beat it. See Ms. Gerlack in the counseling office for a brochure. (Gerlack)
SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE TOUR: Seniors if you are going to Southwestern college next year and would like to go on the senior tour you MUST turn in your permission slip to the counseling center by TODAY, May 2nd!! (Harken)
SENIORS: Your yellow senior activity forms are now LATE! Please turn in your completed yellow forms to your English teacher or to the main office. (Lawlor)
BEST BUDDIES: There is a meeting TODAY, Friday May 2 during lunch in room 809. We will be planning our last few activities especially final planning for the Saturday, May 3rd picnic. Please plan on attending and spending time with your buddy." (Strauss)
*************SCHOLARSHIPS / COLLEGE*************
SENIORS: The Ecology Scholarship, which is worth $1000 for a Hilltop student based on a 3.5 GPA and community service is still available. Also the M & M scholarship for a Hilltop student with spirit and who will be attending SDSU is available. The last scholarship I have is the Madden scholarship. More than 1 will be given out for students attending Southwestern College in the fall. All you have to do is write a small essay on why you want that scholarship. Can not get any easier than that. The due date will be extended.
COLLEGE BOUND JUNIORS: Take time to attend an evening with a consortium of public universities on Monday, May 5, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. at the La Jolla Country Day School. Admission and financial aid information will be presented for Miami University, Binghamton University, Clemson University, University of Colorado-Boulder, and the University of Maryland-College Park. For more information, please visit www.muohio.edu/inmytown.(Di Stefano)
*************************************************
FACULTY SECTION
PLC TIDBIT OF THE DAY: The results of standardized tests can provide a broad picture of how groups of students are performing compared to other districts, or within the student population and how disaggregated subgroups of students are doing relative to other subgroups. They can also be used to analyze patterns, generate hypotheses, and create strategic plans. Standardized tests provide feedback on a district’s curriculum; results can point out areas of weakness, which can then be improved. (Radford)
FACULTY: I replaced the Faculty scholarship sheet in your box. Every year we present a couple of students who are great kids but don't get any money with this recognition. If everyone gave $5 we would have enough for a few scholarships. I have received only 5 donations so far - and thank you to the 5 generous donors!!!! If you could return the green slip to me or my box sometime next week, that would be fantastic.(Gerlack)
Teachers: Textbook notices for students will be in your mailboxes on Thursday morning to distribute during period 2. NOTICES FOR SENIORS: There is a print out for each senior in your classroom. Due to computer problems there may be some seniors that don't get one. Any senior that does not get a print out may come to the library to get one (not during class time). NOTICES FOR ALL OTHER GRADES: Teachers, you will only have a list of students' loaned items. Please share this information by showing each student their textbook checkouts or by cutting each student's list and giving it to them. Next time we run textbook notices, each student will have an individual sheet listing their textbook checkouts. Again, do not send students during class time to get a copy of their textbook list for any reason. Thank you, Ms. R and Ms. Cuevas.
