Letter to Students

The following is a letter that went out to our student representatives.

 

To: Student Representative to NEASC Committee

From: NEASC Committee Co-Chairs (Mr. Sturma and Mr. Abrams)

Welcome to the self-evaluation process and thank you for taking part in this important role as a representative of the NHS student body. You have been assigned to one of the following committees: assessment, instruction, school culture and leadership, community resources, school resources, curriculum, or core values.

Your job is quite easy—be a student. Let’s take a for instance. Let’s imagine that you are on the assessment standard committee.  One of the elements of this standard is the use of school wide rubrics. Your role would be to speak about your experience with school wide rubrics. As part of the process, your committee will have already gathered these rubrics to show you (or, hopefully, you will have already seen them). Your response might be, “I’ve never seen a school wide rubric,” or, “Yeah, I’ve seen them sometimes, in some classes like English, but not in history.”

The commitment is a series of half-days (starting this Thursday, February 2), where you’ll be asked to be at school from 12:30-2:30 to offer your input.

That’s essentially it. We want to hear your voice because it’s your school.

The following students are on committees:

Core Values: Jamie Orosz, Sam Wahlgren
Curriculum: Sydney Hitchcock, Kate McCauley
Instruction: Sydney Skaff, Blake Quintal
Assessment: Nick Mombello, Amy Morse
School Culture: Steve Simkins, Meri Adsit
School Resources: Emma Bartol, Graeme Potter
Community Resources: Ben Hanke, Matt D'Angelo

Unassigned: Catherine Ryan, Rachel Wallace
