This month’s capstone skill is Accountability.

Accountability means being dependable and responsible for your actions. It’s about doing what you say you’ll do, being honest when things go wrong, and working to make it right. It's about staying after school or coming to work with a teacher during lunch when you say you will. 

A couple examples: 

You’re talking while the teacher is giving directions and miss important instructions. Accountability isn’t saying, “You didn’t explain it” or copying off someone else. It’s admitting you weren’t listening and asking for clarification respectfully. OR 

You post or send something unkind about someone. Accountability isn’t deleting it and pretending it never happened. It’s owning it, apologizing, and making a better choice about what you say online and in person. 

8th Graders- I sent you an email asking you to vote on senior superlatives. Please do so by the end of the day. The winners will be in the yearbook. 

I want to remind everyone taking the test that there is no time limit. We will maintain an appropriate testing environment throughout the two hour block and all students will remain in their testing location throughout the two hours. Any student asking to use the bathroom will have to be escorted by a staff member, and there is one in each hallway, so please be patient. 

Students who complete their testing should bring a book or check with the teacher administering their test for what work they may allow you to use. I have confidence in all of you and all your teachers and I ask that you try your best and take the test seriously. If you need headphones please call the front desk and I will deliver them. 

There are a few exceptions- Opt out students will report to the following locations: 

• 6th Grade- please report to the Music Room 

• 7th & 8th Grade Opt out students please report to the Technology room. Please not this is a change from the original Proctoring Schedule sent out. 

• We will have work for you to complete in those locations. 

• Mrs. Keller’s Algebra students- please report to Mrs. Keller’s room during testing. 

At this time you may start sending students to their testing locations. I will be coming around throughout the testing and checking for how many students remain. At the end of the 2 hours an announcement will be made to send any students still testing to the library.
