Week of September 12

Off to a Great Start!
We are off to a wonderful start - thanks to the outstanding efforts of each member of the Venture team.  The quality time you spend with students is THE important difference between us and a traditional high school.  Programs and curricula play a role; however, the most significant intervention for a student is the teacher. Your willingness to make a connection, to listen to their hearts (even when their words don't communicate very well) makes a difference.

Thank you Heidi
This week Heidi deserves a special High-Five and a huge THANK YOU ! In the absence of an ISS teacher, she has been running herd on some students that are struggling with the back-to-school-transitions. I'll spare you the details... but, she is AWESOME!

New ISS Teacher
Cherise Hensley will be out new ISS teacher starting Friday.  She will be in the hospitality room next to room 102.  Drop in and introduce yourselves.
