This is Mr. Kimmel, coming to you Live from Harrison Prep! I have been teaching here at HP since 2009. I am also one of the original teachers that started this journey into becoming and International Baccalaureate school. This year I am honored to teach your students the basics of Graphic Design Principles and the IB Design Cycle. Your students will be using the principles they learn to create designs to help solve real-world problems through awareness, education, and call-to-action.

I am excited to be teaching Algebra and Pre-Algebra here at HP this year. This is my first year here and my 25th year teaching mathematics, and I am convinced I have the best students ever this year!

I look forward to guiding your young mathematicians as they explore the beauty and wonder of mathematics.

And just a reminder :-)
MATH = Mistakes Allow Thinking to Happen! We learn more from our mistakes than from perfection.

Please encourage your student to do the following:
1) Join in-person classes on-time and be prepared to participate.

2) Take full advantage of all learning opportunities (in class activities, assignments, quizzes and tests) by being willing to try.
3) Use asynchronous (independent)  time in the afternoon to double check assignments and due dates, and to complete work and get help.

4) Ask questions when you aren't sure and dig deeper when something is interesting to you!
I am available and happy to help during asynchronous (independent) learning time every day! Use your resources, including your textbook, notes, classmates and teacher.

It is exciting to be back working with students. This is an ever changing time, we must all do what we can to adapt and support one another. This year I am supporting students in Mrs. Harris's General Math Class and working with HS kids as well as Learning Strategies/IB Social Emotional Leaning, and 8th Grade Advisory.

Incomplete portions of DeltaMath assignments, Desmos Activities and textbook work will be accepted for 70% credit the next school day after their due date. They will be accepted late for 50% credit until the end of the grading period.
Additionally, students will get one Replay on DeltaMath quizzes.

All other quizzes and projects will have retake options that learners are invited to participate in that will require them to complete a Reflect and Review assignment prior to the retake.  Retakes will be scheduled with Ms. Lohse outside of in-person class time.

I am from Colombia where I was a teacher too, we are an Army family 2 children and a dog, and we love Washington.

In Heritage we work mostly in reading and writing since we can communicate orally accurately, we work hard on spelling but mostly on be proud of our culture. So please encourage your children to use Spanish at home.

In the afternoons they have independent work to complete assignments or do homework. Sometimes I meet with some of the students to help them with something specific, but I am available during the school day to whatever they need, they just need to tag me with the question/concern.

The Physical and Health Education department consists of Mr. Jacobson (6, 8, 9, 10 PE), Mr. Bassett (6, 7, 10 PE), and Mr. Rodriguez (8, 11, 12 PE and 7 and 9 Health). We need to be creative in how we can do some of our IB assessments since we need to assess your student twice in each of the following criteria: Knowledge, Planning, Performing, and Reflecting. We will do our best to create assessments that everyone can do, but if a situation arises where it is difficult for you and your family, we will work with you and be creative in how we will assess them. Please reach out to us if there is anything we can do to help you and your student.

As the world moves to a global economy with easier movement of employees and increased competition, there is a technology skills gap that can be felt in almost every country.

The 2018 IT Skills and Salary Report from Global Knowledge confirms that skills gaps are a global concern. In their survey of 14,300 IT professionals worldwide, more than two-thirds of the IT decision-makers reported a gap between their team's skill levels and the knowledge required to achieve organizational objectives. The increased need to match employer needs with workforce skills points out the value of certification.

Certification, particularly entry-level certification, helps to build a skilled workforce that meets the needs of local employers and government tech initiatives.
By offering the right balance of academic excellence and real-world skills, you can give students the confidence and motivation they need to succeed both in school and in a profitable career.

Learn what improves graduation rates while arming your students with earning potential.

Certification improves academic performance

Several studies show that students who earn certification have an increased graduation rate, higher G.P.A., increased post-secondary enrollment and improved confidence. The Florida Career and Professional Education department performance report in particular shows an average G.P.A. of 3.09 for students with certification compared to 2.72 for students without certification. An impressive 97.2% of students with certification graduate compared to 83.9% of students without.

Certification makes a resume stand out

Adobe asked current and aspiring digital media professionals about the essentials for launching a successful digital media career. When asked what would make a digital media professional's resume stand out in lieu of experience, 61% said a demonstrable knowledge of digital design tools and 44% said digital media certifications from a top-tier company. The entire survey field agreed that certifications can help candidates prove their skills to prospective employers.

In a Microsoft Certified Professional survey, 91% of hiring managers said they consider employee certification as a criterion for hiring.

Also known in Skyward as "Advanced Choir," 8th Grade Choir is a full year course that introduces students to an advanced understanding of the basics of music. Students will learn vocabulary, how to read sheet music, and yes... they will sing! We'll begin soon with solo singing, and will progress to Music Theory and group recording projects as a whole choir through technology in online learning.

All assignments and tasks can be found in the "Assignments" tab on our class' Teams page, and are always posted by 3:45pm the day before they are due, and are to be turned in by 3:15pm on the due date. These are usually due on Wednesdays, since that is our Asynchronous day.

It is critically important that students are logged on during Synchronous Class Sessions each Monday and Thursday morning by 8:45am. These live class sessions are irreplaceable and include all new instruction. Students must maintain regular attendance to be successful in choir class. Please be up and ready to go!

At the end of the semester, students will have the opportunity to audition for Chamber Choir, which is our advanced high school ensemble.

If you have questions for me, students can please reach out in the Posts tab of our Team by @tagging me, parents can please reach out via email at rmharris@cloverpark.k12.wa.us (don't forget the 'm'). Continue scrolling for more information about HP Choir Program.

8th Grade can be the next step of your journey to IB Music/Chamber Choir! In high school, we offer Concert Chorus as a beginning-intermediate, non-auditioned (anyone can join), full year choir, and Chamber Choir as a rigorously auditioned, highly advanced full-year ensemble. Chamber Choir is a multiple award winning, regionally recognized ensemble which has represented HP at festivals and competitions around Washington State at several colleges and Universities. Members of Chamber Choir have gone on to major in music at Pacific Lutheran  University, Columbia Basin College, Central Washington University, and Berkeley School of Music. We usually offer HPX Choirs after school in the Fall, which are auditioned at the intermediate level, but are taking this year off due to the pandemic. Chamber Choir is also our IB Music class, which offers students the chance to earn college credit and points towards the IB Diploma. This class is supported and enhanced by a team of several student leadership positions each year. Below is a video of our most recent performance at PLU in March of 2020.

In Advisory, students have been working on identifying a "Need" in their community. While we are virtual learning, students' "communities" are their homes and neighborhoods. When we return to the building, the "community" will be HP. The Goal of this project is to identify a need, formulate a plan to meet that need, execute the plan, receive feedback and reflect. All projects will be due by Spring Break.
