A Note From Headmaster
Hello Parents, I wanted to use this blast to remind you about two unique school days coming up. Monday, February 8th, and Tuesday, February 9th are off-campus asynchronous school days. Students will not report to campus, and students will not be Zooming into class from home. Each day will incorporate offline work with additional time designated for homework. Teachers will communicate with students on Thursday and Friday of this coming week, so students are prepared for what to complete prior to their return to campus on Wednesday, February 10th. I appreciate your understanding and flexibility to enable our teachers to have two grading and preparation days. Sincerely, Mr. Navarrette ECNA: Robotics “Our team has worked very well together during this season. We have grown in both our relationship with one another and in our understanding of robotics as a whole. The majority of our team are first-year robotics students, which means we have essentially built this team from the ground up. As coders, we have a great foundation from our Logic and Coding class, which we quickly expanded upon and applied to our robot, “Ned”. We are very proud of our robot, which has a unique hardware design with fully functional Driver Control and Autonomous modes. We have continuously improved our score in each match, and we are excited to improve our robot through the rest of the season.” – JT Janssen and Jeiel Brucker If you would like any information, please visit our website (still being developed) for both teams: https://griffinrobotics116.wixsite.com/11666 Semester 2 Tutoring Schedule 2021-2022 Academic Calendar -Draft ECNA: French Culture Society To enroll, please contact Madame Cognet-Pereira, and click on the payment portal tab on the GP website or click the link: https://glendaleprep.configio.com/pd/850/ecna-french-culture-society.
