PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
THIS WEEK - Missi Love is
returning for a follow-up training at the end of this week. She will work with
all of our teachers on the Four Blocks Literacy Program, Literature Circles,
and 6+1 Traits of Writing, and guide teachers’ discussions of how they grade
written work, and why. This will take place on Friday, November 8 and Saturday,
November 9. These two days will be full working days for teachers. There
will be no school for students on Friday, November 8 as stated in
the school calendar.
DONATIONS NEEDED: Please remember to send in cereal boxes for “Ya
Tengo Donde Escribir” between now and November 20. The grade that
brought the most boxes will be awarded a pizza party or ice cream party! Please
help us help those in need!
For Early Childhood and
Elementary Only:
CHILDREN’S OPERA AT THE
MANUEL BONILLA – Grades
Kindergarten through Fifth have been invited to the presentation of LA
TORTUGAY LA MAGICA CANCION UWUNGELEMA, the first
Children’s Opera to be presented in Honduras. This opera was written and directed
by Maestro Jorge Mejia. The students will attend this presentation this
Wednesday, November 6. We will leave the school at 8:00 a.m. and return at
around 11:00 a.m. The fee for the entrance and transportation is L180.00.
If you have not sent this fee, please make sure you do so by Monday. For
this field trip, each grade must have one parent chaperon for every 4 students.
If you are interested in helping, please contact your child’s teacher. Since
this is a field trip to the National Theater, we are asking students to dress
formally for this occasion (i.e. dress/skirt and blouse and dressy shoes for
girls, slacks, shirt and shoes for boys).
For Secondary Only:
GOOD NEWS! THE SECONDARY
SCHOOL (grades 6 -11) IS NOW USING IXL FOR MATH – This is a comprehensive math site
with an unlimited number of practice questions in hundreds of skills. One of
the best things about IXL is that your child can access it from home, so you
have a chance to see your child's progress! IXL assesses our students'
understanding as they practice.
In addition to making
math practice exciting, IXL is designed to help your child learn at his or her
own pace. The website is adaptive and will adjust to your child's demonstrated
ability level. The site also saves all of your child's results, so you can
monitor your child's progress anytime by clicking on Reports at the top of the
page. Please encourage your son or daughter to use IXL daily. Here's to a year
of working together to make math fun for your child!
Check your child’s math
teacher blog to find out what skills they are practicing every week.
PASSING GRADE ACCORDING
TO THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION - We would like to remind parents that the passing grade for
the Ministry is 70%. Therefore, your child needs to score at least 70% in each
subject in order to avoid coming to recuperation exam/s, which are now required
at the end of every quarter. The final grade for the quarter is an average of
the failing grade and the recup grade. We encourage you to check blogs and
ENGRADE on a weekly basis, and to keep in close communication with teachers.
STUDY SKILLS WORKSHOPS - To help improve students' overall
academic performance we are offering the following mandatory Study Skills
Workshops in the Library:
- Middle School (grades 6-8):
Wednesday, November 13, from 8:00-9:40 a.m.
- High School (grades 9-12):

geared to students in particular. On a later date we will offer workshops that
