Hello Class of 2024!<\/span><\/p>\n

I just wanted to send a follow up email after I visited all of the Sophomore English classes this week.\u00a0 In case you haven\u2019t heard anything from your student, or haven\u2019t seen any of the handouts they may have received, here are a few of the things we discussed last week:<\/span><\/p>\n

Get comfy\u2026there\u2019s a lot of information here!!<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Review of graduation requirements using the AICE Curriculum<\/u><\/strong> standard High School graduation requirements.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Clarification of the requirements for earning the AICE Diploma Award<\/u><\/strong> (which has NOTHING to do with whether or not a student graduates from high school), and the fact that students WILL graduate from high school even if they DON\u2019T earn the AICE Diploma Award (ask them about it J)<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Bright Futures<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 Community Service hours required \u2013 100 hours to earn the Florida Academic Scholars Award level (FAS \u2013 top award level).\u00a0 If a student earns the AICE Diploma Award, and they have LOGGED at least 100 community service hours, they automatically qualify for the FAS and Bright Futures will waive the SAT\/ACT score requirement AND the GPA requirement!!!!<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Fall Exam Session<\/u><\/strong> \u2013 This exam session is mostly for seniors and juniors.\u00a0 Any 10th<\/sup> grade student who did not pass their AICE level English Language exam during the Spring 2016 Exam session has the option to re-take it during the Fall Exam Session. I provided a pink Exam Letter for students to bring home for parent signature if they are interested in ordering a re-take exam (or it\u2019s attached to this email).\u00a0 Re-take exams are at the expense of the student but payment can be made any time through the end of this school year.\u00a0 Please make sure the re-take order is submitted to me by Sept. 9th<\/sup> so as not to incur any late fees from Cambridge.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. NEW WAY TO PAY<\/u><\/strong><\/span> \u2013 Re-take Exam fees can now be paid online by going to schoolpay.com<\/a><\/span>!!<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. AICE Parent Night<\/u><\/strong><\/span> \u2013 Is scheduled for Thursday, September 22nd<\/sup> at 6pm at the SAHS Auditorium.\u00a0 More info. to come \u2013 but mark your calendars now!<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. PSAT for Sophomores<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 SAHS automatically schedules all 10th<\/sup> graders to take the PSAT.\u00a0 Students will take it at the school on Oct. 13th<\/sup>, so watch for information about that.\u00a0 Students will need to plan on taking the SAT and\/or ACT during junior year for college admissions applications \u2013 so this is great practice!<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. 9 weeks grade review<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 I will run grades after the 1st<\/sup> 9th<\/sup> A letter will be sent home for any student who has 3 or more C\u2019s at that time.\u00a0 We went over the steps to take if students are not earning the grade they are capable of\u2026starting with talking to their teacher!\u00a0 Parents are encouraged to contact any teacher for whom their student is not performing at their normal level to get any help or suggestions from the teacher.<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. AICE Student Tutors<\/u><\/strong>:\u00a0 Students who are interested in providing tutoring to other AICE students gave me their name\/contact info. by subject.\u00a0 As I get requests for tutoring I will provide the appropriate subject list to the student and they will contact the AICE student Tutor to arrange a date\/time\/place for the tutoring.\u00a0 Student tutors will get community service hours for helping!!!\u00a0 Please ask your student if they signed up for this \u2013 and let me know if you do NOT want your student to be a tutor.\u00a0 Please keep in mind that non-AICE students will use this tutor list too.\u00a0 If your student needs extra help in any subject, please email me or have your student stop by and I will provide the AICE Student Tutor list \u2013 any time!<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Go to FloridaShines.org<\/a><\/span> and register to see an individual student\u2019s high school courses & grades with a comparison to where they stand for eligibility for the Bright Futures awards.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/u>And I think that\u2019s about it!!!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Any questions \u2013 let me know!<\/span><\/p>\n
