From the Principal’s Desk: Week of April 28th…
Good Morning,
“Leave a Legacy” is the sixth and final directive from The Janitor. Everyday you come to work to teach and students come to learn. In reality you give a gift of knowledge that will transcend high school.
Many times this year, we’ve talked about building futures, “One World, One Dream, One Future”. Our future is the legacy you leave in the minds of the students who sit in your classrooms, come to your attendance window, swim at the pool or research in the library. Our school will leave a legacy.
Prom this Saturday was part of a legacy. The event was exceptional. It seemed that students had a great time and all things went very well. Two of our students were honored as King and Queen. Stephen Rigsby and Samantha Ryals were the honored guest. Congratulations to the King Stephen and Queen Samantha.
I want to thank Juanita Clarno for selling Prom ticket here at Hartman. Her work honored the Hartman students and made it ease for them to purchase Prom tickets.
Important Information:
The posting for the Hartman administrative position closed on Friday, April 25th. Interviews are to occur this week.
Oregon’s stand on exit exams. As you have read in Jon’s email, Oregon is very likely to require exit exams for high school graduation. In the proposal students may have options other than a written exam to demonstrate proficiency. The ISC has assessment exam already in place so the addition of required exit exam should be of minimal impact. I would encourage Denise Roberts and the new administrator to work closely with the State to accept IB exams. The GA has implemented a Senior Project which could with development become a proficiency exam.
