College Knowledge Author David Conley: will visit our school on Tuesday afternoon, (3/13) and spend most of his time in classes 7th and 8th periods. This is an important visit for our school and Urban Assembly as we work towards college readiness for our students. The NWEA interim assessments are part of our gauging of our students' development. David Conley and his team (including Melissa and Noah) are working with UA to develop other class assignments that will help us develop the skills to ready our students for success in college. His visit will be an initial snapshot of where we are in this process.


National Honor Society Induction Ceremony: Friday 3/16 at South Street Seaport Museum. This is another of our students' great moments and all staff members are invited. (See Kima for details).


School Quality Review: is coming on March 20-21. Please know that this visit is an important part of our "report card" for next year. Nate, Jen, Murray and Melissa are working on our "self-evaluation" which will be distributed and discussed with the staff at a short staff meeting on Wednesday at 2:30.


Attendance: Our attendance around the recent holiday breaks continues lower (low 80%s) than usual and is well below our goal of 90%. Advisors, please remain vigilant and check in with your advisees who have been absent repeatedly.
