March 27th, 2020 - It's Fri-yeah! Congratulations on Week One of "At-Home Learning"

96% of students logged into Google Classroom yesterday. That's slightly more than a normal day at Woodrow. 96%! That's impressive.

 Thank you all for hanging in there this week. 
Right now some student's classes may feel like "The Cones of Dunshire."

We will continually work to simplify how students access work and how expectations are communicated. 

 What will help is making a weekly calendar. Here is a template where students can map out what you need to accomplish each week. The goal is for teacher's to have the week's worth of assignments posted on Monday so that students can organize their week. 
Student Calendar Template

 Here are some tips from the counselors. Visit their page for resources and contact info:

While we explore what at-home learning looks like, all Woodrow counselors will be available for appointment Monday- Friday from 10:00-11:00am and 1:00-3:00pm. You can e-mail at any time as we will be checking our e-mail frequently throughout the day.

Pat yourself on the back for making it through this first week. Celebrate what you've learned, how you've helped others, and what you've overcome during this difficult time. Enjoy the weekend!

Summer College Advising from ASP

Summer College Advising from ASP Please see the note below from our Academic Service Provider (ASP) regarding summer support: While this summer looks a little bit different than years previous, we are still offering  summer college advising  for students who want to participate.  We have set up a Remind account to push out information for families that want to stay informed and ASP is starting to pilot some college access initiatives in Google classroom with students participating in our summer activities.    ASP Summer Intern Programming  We have  six interns  from the University of Chicago this summer.   Three of them are our own alumni and the other three are from the DFW area.   One is an international student who attended high school in the United States and has a lot to share about what that process was like, especially when she found out that a lot of colleges wouldn't consider her for financial aid after she had applied.  All of our interns made their college
