Letters of Recommendation
It is scholarship season, and many deadlines are approaching. Please be sure to submit a letter of recommendation request/resume at least a week in advance so that I can prepare an accurate, complimentary letter for you.

Field Trips
Remember, you are allowed to take one (1) field trip per semester with your field site class if the following conditions are met: 1) You must be passing all classes that you would miss. 2) You must not have exceeded the district limit on field trip absences. 3) You must submit the required permission forms to me at least 2 weeks in advance.

So ... as soon as you find out about the field trip, ask your mentor teacher for the permission form. (It is usually the same one your FS students have to sign.) Take it to your parents and have them sign it. Bring the signed form to me (at least two weeks in advance). I will give you a permission and grade check form. You will have to get all of the teachers from the classes you will miss to sign it. Return the completed permission/grade check form, and if everything checks out, I will request field trip permission from the attendance office. Yes, this takes time, so no last minute requests!
