Please check to make sure that your Regents or midterm is on the list. A teacher came to me that his test wasn't there (a midterm). It wasn't a problem finding room, but let's all double check this to make sure we're OK. Let Missy know if there's an issue. Thanks.
Survey Results:
There were some good comments that I'll share soon (no names), but I wanted to share what I have so far:
- Blocked -19 Straight - 11
- A-D rotation: 14 M-F rotation: 7 No preference: 9
Remember that we're already largely in a blocked schedule. A good number of people who want to be in a straight arrangement will be able to do that if things fit. I would like to meet again next Tuesday at 2:30. I'll send an invitation email out to the schedule committee (new members welcome).
Any surplus books?
Please send me a list. All surplus books have to be put on a list for Board review.

Falcons Rock at Masterminds:
We recently joined the area Masterminds league. The events are academic game shows, similar to Jeopardy. Our first Masterminds varsity competition was a great success. Our kids won 2 out of 4 (won against Waterloo and Clyde-Savannah). We only had one junior student : Cami Vanselow and moved up 3 eighth graders -Max Stamberger, Caitlin Cornish, and Lily Foust. They did amazingly well! And our academic challenge bowl (Middle School) students won 1 match. Congrats to all who competed!
This is a workshop with Brian Mendler. Brian is a presenter from Rochester who is very good. If you would like some strategies to reach some of your tougher students, I would recommend looking into this. Click on the title.
