Welcome

We are going to try the new world of 'blogs' for our latest edition of Ram Review. Hopefully we do not run into the early issues we had with our electronic newsletter. Please bookmark this location and check it out throughout each week. We will update the Ram Reivew as often as necessary to keep up with all that is going on here at Rogers High School. Let us know if this works.

There will be two main sections. The first section will be the calendar of the week. Most items will be listed but we will most certainly not have all calendar items on the list. If you would like us to add a specific meeting or item to the event list, simply drop Scott a note and I will get it put on as soon as possible. The second section will be notes and announcements with greater details that will hopefully keep you up to speed with what is happening at Rogers High School.

First Quarter Grading - The end of the first quarter is scheduled for Thursday, 11/10. We are working with Carrie Unger to put everything in order for us to submit grades online. In moving to this system, I believe you will find it to be a great time saving option. For teachers who are currently using the Easy Grade Pro system, they simply submit their quarter grades with no additional paperwork. No bubble sheets or scantrons. For our data processor, Carrie will no longer have to scan almost 300 individual bubble sheets.

To do this, we will need to have some tech training times over the next several weeks. There are a couple of things we need to make sure of prior to the end of first quarter.

1. All teachers must have the Easy Grade Pro software installed on the computer they use to do their grading.
2. All teachers will need to use Easy Grade Pro for submitting their final quarter grades.

Even if you do not use the Easy Grade Pro software to do your actual grading you will need to submit your final quarter grade using this system. It should be far easier than the old bubble sheets we are looking to move away from. We will be putting meetings together to provide training for all faculty and staff currently doing grading. More to come....

LINK this week - Ram TV is scheduled for this upcoming Thursday, 10/27. It should take the entire LINK period. We have been working hard in all our LINK advisory programs to provide updated and accurate information as it relates to the new requirements of the culminating project. Please use this Tuesday, 10/25 to review culminating project requirements will all your advisory students.
