Last Friday, we celebrated all the students with 90% or above attendance, and who received 20 or more credits for first quarter. In total, 103 students took part in the celebration. Of the 103 students who participated, 73 were on both list. I believe this is a significant number because, 73 students who consistently attended school, received the majority of their credits.
If we can continue to recognize students for their efforts in continuing to come to school, we may also be contributing to enabling our students to be successful academically. That being said, I do not think that rewarding students for coming to school is going to solve all of our student's problems; however, some students do not come from environments where they are recognized for any of their positive achievements/behaviors.
We as a Sem Yeto family can create a culture and environment that allows students to feel safe and rewarded for working hard at the little things. This can in-turn inspire/encourage our students to step out of their comfort zone, take risk educationally, and experience some measure of success in their lives. Please continue to recognize our students and stand in the gap!
The design for the Sem Yeto Facilities Master Plan will be posted in the office. Please stop by and provide feedback and suggestions on how we can improve the design. The input that we provide will be collected December 7th, and utilized to ensure that the plans meet the needs of our future students. No one knows what our students need more than we do; so please share your thoughts.
