2. Discipline Updates
As we have had some issues during class change times, I will do my best with Hillary and Eric to be present in the Commons to reduce possible behavioral issues. I appreciate your vigilance and help with reporting student issues.

5. Letter to Families about ELOx
This is a FYI for all HU families regarding ELOx... I placed this on the family blog as well.
February 1, 2019
Greetings students and parents,
With the fall semester finished, we thought it was a perfect time to remind families of the academic support opportunities that are available for students. Every course, grade 7-11, students have a non-negotiable expectation that all summative assessments listed in course syllabi are completed, and that all 9-10th grade students must obtain a minimum course score that falls within the Emerging range (1.8 - 2.5), and 11th grade students course score that falls within the Proficient range (2.6 - 3.3). In order to support these achievement expectations, we are continuing to further develop our support/recovery offerings grades 7 - 12 including:
- Extended Learning Opportunity s (ELO) every other day on B days.
- After-school support on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 3:00 - 4:45 pm
- Summer Support Session (more info forthcoming on this summer’s offerings)
- ELO-X, this is an opportunity for recovery and enrichment sessions within a regular school day (Feb 4,5).
In these new ELO-X days, teachers will be offering recovery as well as a variety of enrichment choices. Some are based on a current content area enrollment and others will be open to any student. Students are encouraged to look for something they love and take the chance to do more of it. Or, look for something to stretch them out of their comfort zone and give it a try. Students with missing work from a course will be assigned to specific recovery blocks and have a chance to be re-assessed and work toward meeting course requirements. A few important expectations about ELO-X:
- Students must sign up for all 4 blocks; they will be signing up in TA.
- Active student engagement during this time is expected
- Attendance will be treated just like a class
Proficiency-Based Learning is based on clearly communicated expectations, in conjunction with the opportunity to revise and have additional time to demonstrate skill mastery in transferrable skills needed to succeed in post-secondary endeavors. As always, we welcome ideas and feedback concerning our support system. Thank you for supporting Harwood student learning.
