NACA+HS+Notes

January 6, 2011 Friday

Homework: -Math class only (as a pilot) --first half of the day classes (as a pilot w/in the pilot) implementation starts Tuesday 18.

After school help has 8 open slots to any other homework needs.

Frank: Home work has a greater achievement rate when incorporated within class also.

--meeting times made more consistent -to avoid rehashing (such as seen yesterday in conversations about HW policy)

--Cell phones & I-pods -current policy is to only use them before school and phones in office for calls -on teacher to teacher basis? -as a research source? e.g. Swearing changed last year after whole school crack down/ cooperation

--Tardies - more crack down? -Clem: when I followed Paul's advice to be on my porch Tardies changed.

Graduation for next year -lotta logistics

NMSBA II
