turning our brains off...as a necessity

These past couple weeks since our last meeting have been, in a word, loose.

We had 2 three-day weekends in a row, the health fair (which replaced classes for an entire day), an off-campus shooting that impacted our students directly, a processing meeting to follow up after the shooting, and last, but not least, Prom. Not to mention all the drama associated with seniors (not) graduating.

The way that some of them are panting toward the finish line is taking its toll on us as a staff, thereby making it even more difficult to maintain for us all. In a nutshell, classwork & curriculum have been forced toward the lower end of the priority list in the whirlwind that is our end-of-year campus atmosphere.
