Happy New Year! Research shows that 60% of people who make resolutions have broken
them within three months. Yet, this means that 40% of the people keep them! Imagine what
would happen if staff and students made and kept the same resolutions for 2008: 1) Daily
attendance, 2) Punctuality, 3) Participation, 4) Positive attitude and outlook, and 5) Focus
on learning.
Facilities Request :Please remember that a permit is needed two weeks before any event,
in which school facilities are used outside of the student’s day.
Senior Project Deadlines: First 3 journals are due on 1/28/08, first draft of research paper
is due 2/11/08, and a total of 6 journal entries are due 3/10/08.
Mock Trial: Participants are expected to meet every Tuesday and Friday @ 12:50 in room
103. The JSA Debate Club meets every Thursday at 12:50 in room 103; all interested
students may attend. (Ms. Wolfe)
CAHSEE: Here is an analysis of 10th grade ’06-’07 CAHSEE proficiency rates in English
Language Arts. What does this analysis, and the concomitant chart say to you?
Next week you will receive the math results
Analysis of 10th Grade CAHSEE Proficiency Rates 06-07
English Language Arts: At Oakland High, 38% of all students classified as 10th Graders in 06-07
scored Proficient on the ELA CAHSEE. However, only 25% of the African American subgroup and
24% of the Latino subgroup scored Proficient. The school overall and AA and Hispanic subgroups
met the 06-07 AYP target of 22.4% for ELA.
The chart below shows the relationship between the Proficiency Rates of last year’s 10th graders and
their prior year’s CST scores.
