Save the Date! Proficiency Day (May 4th)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2020-2021 school year has been a difficult one for many, and while we are happy to have all students back at school, we acknowledge that some students may still be struggling to regain lost learning or credit recovery from Semester 1. At La Pine High School, we are committed to connecting with every student who received an NG in Semester 1 and offering opportunities for learning and credit recovery so that every student can be on track as we enter summer and a new school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La Pine High School will be holding a \u201cProficiency Day\u201d on Tuesday May 4th.<\/strong> Our goal for this day is for students who struggled academically during CDL, need to regain credit, or who are currently not on track to graduate to have a day to connect with their teachers. This day will be an incredible opportunity for these students to have smaller class sizes, get individualized support, develop a plan, and connect with teachers they had during Semester 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will have the chance on this day to move thru their Semester 1 schedule<\/strong> (all class periods 1 \u2013 7)<\/strong> where they may get more individualized lessons to highlight missed content, be given direct instruction, or have an opportunity to discuss assignments they need to complete for credit recovery. Our hope is that students who received an NG in Semester 1 will leave the day with proficiency in that subject area, which may translate to an earned credit, and allow the student to get back on track academically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who received an NG in one or more classes, who are not on track to graduate, or who received an email about Credit Recovery are required<\/strong> to join us on this day. Students will be able to ride a bus or be dropped off and be provided lunch, like a normal school day<\/strong>. Students will go thru their Semester 1 schedule where teachers will give instruction, directions, or develop a plan to move the student to academic proficiency and credit recovery. As well, students will have quiet, working environments with access to technology and resources to complete these tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who are on track to graduate and\/or have not received a NG in Semester 1, are excused to stay home for the day. There will be no NEW content being taught on May 4th.<\/strong> If students who are on track choose to attend school on May 4th, they will be provided a space for general study hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPads<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was verified this week that iPads will not be turned in this June<\/strong>. Due to summer learning opportunities, we will ask our students to hold on to their iPads (just like they did last spring).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 JROTC Units competed in Color Guard, Drill, Marksmanship and Physical fitness on Saturday at La Pine High School. Cadets from La Pine, Mountain View, Crook County and Redmond high schools were able to showcase the efforts they have been putting into the JROTC program core competition categories. The competition season typically runs from October through April however the entire season was cancelled for the Pacific Northwest region to comply with COVID protocols. La Pine High School dominated the culminating event \u2013 a functional fitness field meet \u2013 over second place Mountain View by a decisive 5-1 score. For Freshman and other first year cadets, this was a great opportunity to see what a regular season competition looks like and for Seniors the event was their final hoorah for their time in the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
