Blog Interrupted

On Thursday, Blogspot took a couple hour hiatus for general maintenance; unfortunately, the result was the temporary loss of most posts from Wednesday, and a monkey wrench in student's carefully orchestrated daily schedules. The seniors rallied by crafting their entries in Word or Pages, waiting for Blogspot to re launch, and then cut and pasting their new posts. 

As the first week ends, students are acquiring signatures on their weekly time sheets, and turning their attention to the Week One Reflection post. Unlike the Daily post, the Weekly Reflection should be free of errors and there is an expectation that the student’s Senior Project Mentor will proofread it.

The Weekly Refection should address the following:

- What they learned the first week

- Did everything happen as they expected, and where there any surprises

- Did they like what they were doing

- How did they benefit from the week's activities

Weekly Reflections are due by 5:00 on Sunday.

Proctor Celebrates Earth Day

Earth Day kicks off with movies being shown around campus on Wednesday evening (starting at 7). Everyone is signed up to attend with his or her advisor. It would be awesome if you would participate. As seniors in the community, who have shown the determination and drive to work independently, the faculty and students will appreciate your presence. For many of you the topic should resonate: Food, sustainability, trash, community service, service to others, education...
Yahoo! Thanks!

And they are off...Day One

Today is the first official day Senior Projects. While a couple seniors have had to carve out the time to take an AP exam scheduled for this week, and a couple others actually started their Projects over the weekend, the majority may be experiencing first day jitters. As the weeks unfold please be advised that most of the required documents are available on the Proctor web site (A to Z, Senior Projects). Weekly time sheets must be signed by the Project Sponsor and student, and they are due each Friday. A daily blog is due by midnight each day, and a weekly reflection is required by Sunday each week. Please keep in mind that while the daily blog is free form, the Weekly Reflection should be free of errors and proofread by the Project Mentor prior to posting.

Blog Set Up - Check

Twenty-two highly motivated seniors now turn their attention to wrapping up assignments in the final few days of classes and sitting for AP Exams. By 5:00 PM on Friday, May 6th they will hand in a "sign out sheet" that has the signature of each of their teachers and an estimated grade. Final grades will be submitted to Podium by midnight on Friday. Saturday morning, the Senior Project Committee will review grades and post the list of students who are approved to start their Projects. Grades must be commensurate with the student's cumulative GPA.

Blog Set Up

Students are in the process of setting up their blogs. As soon as they are available, links will be provided on the left side of this main blog. Please check back often for new information.
