Upcoming and Notable...

Credit Returns Deadline
September 23 is the deadline to return items for credit.  Only items ordered from MBS Direct (all items) and TextbookX (only supported curriculum, excluding warehouse and marketplace purchases) are eligible.  Items must be returned to the Carmichael Resource Center by 4:30 p.m.

Spelling Bee
Enrollment is now open for the Visions school-wide Spelling Bee! More information on the Spelling Bee event page.

End of LP1
Friday 9/23.

Semester Plans
Please try to get your semester plans completed by Friday.* If you can't finish the whole semester, please at least fill out LP2 so I can put your assignments into Launchpad. Thank you!
*If you are still awaiting curriculum, I understand that this will be a serious challenge! Just do what you can and fill in as your curriculum arrives. 

Semester 1 Official Work Samples
I will be collecting official semester 1 work samples at our LP2 meeting. These work samples can be from anytime during LP1 or LP2. Please be sure to provide:
  • one sample for each assigned subject
  • samples that match the assignments, lessons, unit numbers and/or learning units on your semester plan for either LP1 or LP2
  • samples on 8 1/2 x 11 paper, free of staples and rough edges (Imagine that Visions has to file 5,000 of these work sample packets! The tidier I can compile them, the better.)
  • samples that are graded and/or commented on by parent
  • samples that reflect student work (multiple choice assignments and tests are not accepted by the school)

Thank you, and let me know if have any questions or need any help.

Tutoring in Jackson!


Finally, it looks like Visions will be offering drop in tutoring in Jackson! I know the school tried to implement this last year and struggled to find a qualified tutor. I just heard that one will be starting on Wednesday.

Grace Fellowship
8040 CA-49, Jackson, CA
