This will allow for more ELA content in English IV. We selected dates for junior proposals this semester in order to test this program ahead of next year.  We also selected a night for spring graduation project night. We hope that we can (as a faculty) respect that night and not schedule other events that day. We are currently shooting for May 2.

We worked on pacing guides for HS1, HS2, NF for next years calendar. It is going to be tough to condense our curriculum materials for those 3 subjects. A lot of hands on activities will be eliminated. For NF, a lot of work will have to be done on Canvas at home by the students. We may not be able to have a blood in the Fall and only do it in the Spring semester. We may need to have the elementary schools do health fairs in the spring if they want our help with vision screening. Some units in all 3 subjects could be shortened]]> 2018-11-06 20:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/laurar_mayer/wzzf7a63fqyh/wish/301229164 Business and Marketing https://padlet.com/laurar_mayer/wzzf7a63fqyh/wish/301237132 Furlow

Placed some topics on a "reserve list" if precalculus students were likely to have had multiple exposure to these concepts in previous classes.
