US Week of 2/10

 
Dear Upper School Families,

Happy Super Bowl Sunday to those that are watching! We are following this week for snow, and we will see if we are in for another winter wonderland. Just a heads up, we are hoping to send home work tomorrow just in case we are not in on Tuesday and Wednesday so that students may do some asynchronous learning. More details will be sent in the event of any cancellation. BUT, if we have a normal week, here is what you need to know:

Happening This Week:

  • Our celebration of Black History Month continues with a Kahoot! Game that has been created by our US Kaleidoscope club that will be played in advisory.
  • Wednesday, February 12: Maryland Environmental Services will do an “in-school” field trip with our environmental science classes.
  • Thursday, February 13: NHS Candy Grams delivered.
  • Friday, February 14: No School, winter break.

Scheduling for Next Year:

  • This past week, we had an upper school assembly discussing the classes that are offered in the IB program.
  • 9th grade; while most 9th grade classes are set except for electives, we will meet with 9th grade students to make sure they are on track to meet their goals in the Calverton Upper School.
  • 10th grade students will receive a form where they will rank which classes they are interested in for next year. We will use this as a starting point for meeting with students and families to discuss their schedule for next year.
  • 11th grade students will mainly continue in year 2 of their selected IB courses, students will be called in for any changes or decisions that need to be made.

Upcoming Events:

  • February 17: No school, winter break.
  • March 6 and 7: Save the Date for Addams Family the Musical at 6pm.
 

Thank you for those that were able to make it to Moving Up Night and/or to the IB information session. For those that could not make it, I am considering holding a second IB night on Zoom if there is interest. Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

This Week in the Upper School:

  • February 3, to kickoff Black History Month, Kaleidoscope Club has put together an assembly presentation that will be shared with all divisions throughout the week. Stay tuned to Social Media and upcoming events for more on how we are recognizing Black History Month.
