Teacher of the Year:  On Monday we will begin the process of nominating Venture's Teacher of the Year.  Please look for a nomination in your box and it get it turned into the office ASAP.

Student engagement surveys are ready. On Tuesday or Wednesday, please plan on having your advisory students fill out the survey.  This presentation should be shown to students as it provides background on how we'll use the data as well as a link to provide their response.
