training and FIRE incentives, etc.
Plants will be delivered to Foothill on Tuesday, December 3,

2:30 – 5:00 p.m.

donated.
Cheers for
Children
We
are collecting boxes of bread mix, cake mix, and other dry mixes for our
Foothill contribution to the Cheers for Children food basket drive! Encourage your FIRE students to participate
in this very important cause! New
this year…
The
Reaping ceremony takes place on Wednesday, December 4 at 11:10 am. All candidates over 13 years of age must
enter their names. Remember – you can volunteer to take the place of someone
else. Each District must have at least
10 volunteers (One male and one female per classroom).
Each
district will be assigned an ASB rep who will serve as the district escort. We
will have games and quizzes during lunch each day that will hopeful build
spirit and raise awareness for Cheers for Children.
The
district with the most points at the end of the three week period will be the
victor.

Mid-Quarter Progress
Report – 12/6
Teachers
will be evaluating student work for mid-quarter progress reports starting on
Friday, December 6. Students with low
grades, Ds and/or Fs, will receive progress reports home via direct mail in the
next week or so.
Please
talk with each of your FIRE students about their current progress in all
classes. Help those who are struggling
in any way to identify the “why” behind their struggles and then set specific
goals to help address those issues.
Follow up with your struggling students EVERY day. Semester grades are FINAL and go on the high
school transcript.
