2.
pursue goal
President Barack Obama will address
school children at noon on Tuesday, September 8.. According to
the State Department of Education his address is designed to
encourage children to stay in school, work hard, establish
their goals and realize that learning is their
responsibility.
The high school will air the
President's twenty minute address live. Parents who wish to
have their children "opt out" of experiencing the speech
should email me directly at (cmacunas@rsd17.org) or send in a
hand written note. No phone calls will be accepted to opt a
student out. Students over the age of 18 may also opt out or
in without parental consent. Students who opt out will
meet in the guidance office during the President's address.
Next week the high school will swap its Tuesday
and Wednesday schedules. (Please share this with your child so
he/she may prepare accordingly). Additionally, on Tuesday, the
Advisory Period will be moved into the 11:55 time slot and
period F will be moved into the 8:50 time slot. Since one of
the topics of the advisory program is working with students on
goal setting, the speech is aligned with that objective and
can be achieved without any loss of instructional
time.
You need only respond to this communication
if you wish to exercise the "opt out"
option.
Sincerely,
Charlie
