  5. NTI Room “The consequence in my class for not doing your work - is doing your work!” Rick Wormeli In 2016, we noticed that our students were failing their classes at higher rates and realized that it wasn’t because they didn’t understand the concepts….they just weren’t doing the work! Thus, the establishment of the NTI Room.

  6. Algebra I - Tests are broken down by standards. If students fail standards with a 60-69, they will be assigned to Algebra Interventions during lunch time. They will be retaught until they are ready to retest. They receive full credit for the retest and are then released back to regular C25. Students who fail with a grade lower than 65, will be assigned to a C25 with a Math teacher until they no longer need support. Algebra students are able to retake tests all semester long.

  7. Introducing the PIC & DHS Family Center(Parent Instructional Coordinator)

  8. Title I information The intent of Title I is to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high quality education. Title I provides funds to improve achievement of the lowest-achieving students – those who are failing, or are most at-risk of failing, to meet State academic achievement standards – enrolled in high-poverty schools

  22. Student Schedules • Today, your student will receive their tentative schedule for this semester. • We are still in the process of balancing classes, so there is a possibility this could change before the start of the school year. Duluth High School Challenging All To Succeed

  23. Schedule Correction needed? We will only be doing schedule corrections for the following reasons: • Student has already received credit for the course. • Student has not passed the pre-requisite course. • NOTE: We are unable to honor requests for elective changes. The deadline for requesting changes was May 23rd.

  24. Schedule Correction needed? All level changes in classes (example: College Prep to Honors), will take place starting the second week of school and must come from the specific teacher after a conversation with both you and your student.
