Yearbook January Deadline, Grades, and February Deadline

Happy Break!

First I want to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of the students who really kicked rear this week in stepping up and helping the team to make our plant deadline.  I see how hard each of you are working and I love how much effort you are putting into the book to make it awesome. 

Grades are finalized and what comes out on the progress report the next Wednesday of school should reflect what the grades look like right now.

I've spoken with two of the three students who missed their deadlines.  Obviously the pages still need to be finished.  We met our plant deadline for this week, but the next deadline is the rest of the book.  Everything in the main book must be submitted or the book won't get printed.  Please, if a student has earned less than 70 on any of their Deadline pages, that means it's not done, please have them work on these over the break and come back to school with them finished.  I know the editors will be periodically checking the pages (specifically Monday and Wednesday) to proof what they can next week, because when we get back to school we will hit the ground running.  They can recoup some points, although not all points as the pages are late.

We are coming into the final stretch.  We have 2 more deadlines, one at the end of February, one mid March.  These are the last pages of the book, and then the Spring Supplement.  I know how much work they are doing, I know it's too much, but it will be over so quickly then we can relax for the rest of the semester.   We'll still have assignments, but they will be nowhere nearly as stressful.  

Thank you so much for your support.  The book wouldn't be what it is without you.  I truly believe this is the best yearbook Kell has had to date.

Have a great week.
