News and Notes
This week, our students will be involved in some great events. 3 of our students will have the opportunity to speak with Assemblymember Jim Fraizer. These 3 students will be allowed to ask the assemblymen questions and give their perspective on the state of public education. Another 21 of our students will be attending an assembly hosted by AHS with Judge Ladoris Cordell; and to end the week, we will host a lunchtime celebration for all students who had 90% attendance and earned 20 or more credits for first quarter.
Please continue to look for opportunities for our students to to be exposed to valuable information and influential people within our community. These opportunities provide a bridge for our students to positive role models and information that can encourage and enable our students to set goals, and be successful in achieving those goals.

What is Depth of Knowledge(DOK); and how can I as an educator utilize DOK in the classroom?
These are questions that educators are asking about DOK, In an article written by Gerald Aungst, he explains how DOK can assist educators with increasing the rigor in their classrooms by providing rich environments where all students are learning at a high level. The article is very short, and provides some exercises for educators to try to gain a better understanding of the cognitive levels of the task being utilized in their classrooms. The article is attached below; enjoy!
This is Good!!
