The Tech High Short Story Project

Vote your favorite into the Short Story Hall of Fame!

Congratulations to all students who participated in the History Day program.  Several of those that participated advanced to the state competition in Pasadena.  Projects included a website on Windmill Power, a site on chronometers, a website on plastic surgery, and a documentary on small pox.  Great work all!

Here are your state finalists…

A few new projects have been released.  Check out a great set of talks presented as part of Tech High TED, and then cruise over to our Tragedy and the Human Spirit Project to see a few websites we put together with the help of some friends at Rancho Cotate.  See it all on the Student Creations page.

1. At the December Board meeting, the Cotati-Rohnert Park Unified School District Governing Board approved a revised calendar for the current school year that has five fewer school days than the original calendar for the 2009-2010 school year. School will now end on Friday, June 4. An electronic copy of the calendar will be sent home later this week. If you do not receive one, copies are available at the Tech High office or on the District’s website.

Parents of Seniors-Please note: Due to Friday, June 4, being an SSU Furlough Day, Person Theatre is not available for the graduation ceremony. The THS 2010 Graduation is re-scheduled for Thursday, June 3 at 3:00 pm. in the SSU Person Theatre. A reception will follow the ceremony. More information about graduation will be sent in the future. School-related activities for graduating seniors will be held on Friday, June 4 and graduates will receive their diploma at that time.

Please contact the Tech High office if you have any questions about the school calendar.

2. Interested in the environment? A meeting to determine interest in an Environmental Club will take place Wednesday, January 13th at 3:00pm in Mrs. Brown’s classroom. All THS students are welcome to attend.

3. Need Community Service Hours? Can you help create a website? A local pre-school is looking for help in creating a school website. Please see Mr. Littlefield if you are interested in these community service hours.

RESERVE YOUR PROM TICKET

It’s that time again! Prom Committee is in full swing and our first deposit has been paid. This confirmed our date of May 8 on the Hornblower Yacht. We are now taking deposits to hold a student’s space for prom. Because we have chosen “Ka-Boom” weekend, which includes fireworks on the bay, the price this year was a bit higher. We are trying to offset that by fundraising which will go on throughout the school year.

Because of the size of the boat, it can only accommodate 140 students. Your space can be reserved by sending in a deposit of $25.00 by December 11, 2009. Please make checks payable to Technology High School. Please be on the lookout for future fundraisers.

In the meantime, remember the Hornblower only holds 140 people. So, don’t lose out. Reserve your spot now!

December 1 marks the push for our recruiting for the 2010-11 school year. I will be making presentations to incoming 9th grade parents and students over the next couple of months.

Tomorrow evening, (Wednesday, December 2nd ), I will present information to prospective families who live outside of our school district. The presentation will be held at Tech High and will begin at 6:30 pm.

On Thursday, December 3rd , I will present information about Technology High School to Creekside Middle School students during their school day. A parent presentation will be held at Creekside Middle School on Wednesday, December 16th.

On Tuesday, December 15th, I will present information about Technology High School to Mountain Shadows Middle School students during their school day. A parent presentation has been tentatively scheduled to be held at Mountain Shadows Middle School on Thursday, December 17.

Additional presentations will be made at Technology High School in January and listed on the school website.

I appreciate you sharing this information with families who you think will benefit from their child attending Technology High School. Thank you for your support of Tech High.

All students who are working on their entries for the 2009-10 PTA Reflections Arts program are reminded that their completed entry is due at school on Monday, November 30th.

There will be local prizes plus the chance to have your piece continue on to the District, State or National levels. Fire up your creativity and good luck to THS students!
