Opportunities for us to talk in person

Dear Parents/guardians of my AP Comparative Politics students, 

I will be at KHS in the cafeteria for conferences from 3-5 PM on April 25th.  If you cannot come to KHS to meet with me but want to check in about your student please email me so we can check in.  

Additionally, since this is a pilot program the Gifted and Talented program would love to get feedback from you on how this accelerated class is going for your student.  We will have a parent meeting on Friday, May 31st in my classroom at KHS (C101 near the front door) from 7:50-8:30 AM with coffee and donuts to also give you an opportunity to give Director Boltik and myself your input.  

Take care,
Meredith

May 18, 2020 Dear DA STEM 9th and 10th graders and their parents/guardians, Congratulations on completing spring semester at Normandale in the Dimensions Academy STEM program.  You excelled in your college coursework - during a pandemic and when all instruction was moved online!  Roger and I were very impressed with how hard you worked under these new learning conditions. Additionally, we were thrilled to see how well the Normandale professors adjusted their teaching to online.  We were happy with the level of rigor they were able to maintain.   Grades:   I am pleased to announce that everyone in both cohorts earned As and Bs in their college classes this semester.  Normandale is offering their students the opportunity to take their classes pass/fail but my recommendation for you is to take your grade.  There are 2 benefits to taking your grade:  1.  It is doubtful that 4 years from now colleges will give you credit for ...

Seeing our kids learning!

I had the opportunity to see DA STEM 10th graders use tilt ,  seismic , and gas data from volcanos today.  It was great to see our students thinking as real geologists!   Later on I got to observe our new DA Honors 9 English class where they worked at stations to analyze short stories for illusion, personification, symbolism, irony, conflict, imagery, and characterization.  They did a great job applying these concepts in their small group discussions and digging into the texts! I look forward to more opportunities to see our students learning.
