Time to pay the piper

Last week was full of adjustments with the weather. The day school was cancelled will have to be made up on the Monday after Easter. Bummer. I guess there are just no freebees in life :o)
We are expecting more cold and wet tonight and tomorrw. Probably not ice, but I am headed to watch the weather news right now to see what the forecast is. Will keep you posted.

Winter is here!

Today we have a true wintry day!!! School was postponed until 10:00 am and then released an hour early as the weather brought in more freezing rain. Everything is covered with ice and rain. We haven't had any snow here, but some has been reported in the area. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't have another late start again tomorrow morning. 2 of my classes had less than 50% of my students in attendance today. The other one had about 75%. I think the school has to average at least 40% to be able to record the day as a completed day. I just received a call telling me that all school has been cancelled for tomorrow. The pics today are from day 1. If there is a change when we get up in the morning I will post day 2. Stay warm everyone-

I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go!

The first two days back at the high school have been surprisingly good. Every time I hear Dr. Brown talk about his vision for our school I am encouraged. He actually joined the Fine Arts dept. meeting yesterday for over an hour and fielded questions about his goals and perceptions/visions if you will/ for the Fine Arts in UCISD. He admits a strong interest in the Arts even though he grew up a jock and never attended any Fine Arts classes. His perception is that students need exposure to all of the disciplines so they can be well rounded.... a good classical education..... yeah!!! I better get on- more grading and planning to do.
