Capping off Career Technical Education month and Public Schools Week, we want to recognize the 19 high school students who are the first to participate in the St. Charles County Apprenticeship Accelerator. This unique collaboration between the county’s five public school districts, local manufacturers and the USDOL creates apprenticeship opportunities for students as young as 16 interested in manufacturing careers. They complete classwork at school that corresponds with the hands-on learning they do in their 2,000 apprenticeship hours at work. Upon completion, they will earn 45 credit hours from St. Charles Community College and a nationally recognized USDOL apprentice certification. Together, these 19 students will earn about $700,000 working their apprenticeship hours and produce more than $3 million in manufactured goods. It’s one more way our schools and communities come together to Educate, Empower and Equip Students to Excel in life and in work. #PSW25 #FZEqupToExcel

Congratulations to Olivia Walker on being named one of the Students of the Week for Feb. 10th. Olivia is a hard working, kind, funny girl who checks in on me every day. I recently shared with my students that this season is hard for me (since my father died on Christmas day). Olivia has asked me how I'm doing every day since. I think she is really empathetic and just the kind of kid we hope will lead us into the future. #LionPride

If it seems that you've been hearing that a lot of your student's friends have been sick, you're not alone. Our team of school nurses has noticed it, too, and shares a few key reminders to help you and your student(s) stay healthy as we all look toward the end of cold and flu season.
1. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using the restroom and before eating.
2. When you need to cough or sneeze, do so into a tissue or your elbow
3. Stay home/keep your student home when feeling sick
Our nurses are so thankful to have you on their team as they work to keep our students and our schools healthy. Remember, you can find the graphic below any time on our website under Clinics, Health and Wellness.
Today at East High, ELA teachers focus their PLC time on aligning our curriculum, sharing instructional strategies, and analyzing student work to pinpoint learning gaps. They use data from assessments to adjust teaching methods and create targeted interventions. They also spend time developing or refining common assessments and discussing ways to integrate literacy standards across grade levels and text genres. This collaboration helps ELA teachers stay consistent and improve outcomes for East High students. #EdChat #PLC #TeachingExcellence
