Uplift Hampton Preparatory H.S.

I hope this week's memo finds you and each and everyone of your family, friends and loved ones safe and healthy at this time. As it has been stated over and over again, whether that be from Yasmin's updates, media coverage, or by numerous local and national government officials, this is an unprecedented time in our history, and accordingly, our staff has been diligently working to create ways in which we can continue to provide instructional enrichment opportunities in order for each of our scholars to continually engage in preparing for the "next steps" of their education, whatever that next step may be.

I've asked our staff, as I will also ask each and every one of you, to remain patient, flexible, and understanding as we continue to get updates throughout this time period. Consequently, I've asked our staff to establish plans on a weekly basis, in case we need to prepare for any changes locally or nationally to our instructional expectations as a high school campus. After all, as we have seen over the past week, things can dramatically change from day to day. To avoid an overabundance of communication, I am asking Kendra Langley, the dean over the 11th/12th grade scholars on our campus, to collect all coursework to be submitted in this weekly updated memo; however, please feel free to reach out to any teacher and administrator, if and as needed.

At this point, there remain many unanswered questions during our indefinite closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic. When will we return? What will happen to graduation, prom, grades, testing, etc.? Please feel free to visit our network website at https://www.uplifteducation.org to review the most updated information for Uplift Education. It is with such questions that Our campus and network will continue to update you regarding any information associated with the general needs of the campus.

Below, throughout this memo, I am including the general assignment and work associated with each of your scholar's respective teachers. We hope that you can help ensure our scholars remain actively engaged in their education, and if you or your scholar is in need of any additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out to a member of our team.

I believe, during this time of turmoil and uncertainty, each and every member of our Hampton "village," scholars, staff, parents, members of the community, etc. can embody the mascot that we proudly claim for our school. The phoenix, a mythological bird of remarkable uniqueness, rises from the ashes, renewed, ready to take on the next challenge of life. So, too, we know that Hampton will be prepared for our next challenge.

Rising Together,

Jeremy L. Green

High School Academic Director

Uplift Hampton Preparatory High School

Uplift has enlisted some incredible educators across the network to create and provide some additional enrichment lessons for our scholars, including four of our own high school staff members. Please encourage your scholar to visit the link below, click on the high school links, and engage in the lessons associated with their respective grade level classes.

We continue to get weekly updates in association with each of our state and national testing assessments: STAAR/EOC, ACT, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB)/Diploma Program (DP), etc.

Please expect an update regarding assessments with next week's memo.

• Please check my Google Classroom (code: 36iewpb) for assignments. These will be posted every Wednesday. Before break, scholars were also tasked with reading Persepolis and completing Reading Bookmarks.
• I highly suggest that scholars complete these activities and watch material posted to YouTube as they directly relate with content they need for the DP English exams in May.
• Feel free to contact me at kcarter@uplifteducation.org or Remind (code: @dplanguag) with any questions or concerns. I will also have online office hours via Zoom, Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays from 2:30pm-3:30pm. Access to the meeting will be posted to Classroom prior to the session.

• Google Classroom: q6svvv5
• This week, I will be posting refresher grammar activities as well as several practice DP exam activities. Many of them will be on InThinking, and some will be provided on a GoogleDoc. The goal is for you to continue to prepare for DP exams just as we would have been in the classroom. I will post individual assignments on Thursday, Friday, and Tuesday with detailed instructions included in each post.
• Please contact me with any questions you might have at ahaverkamp@uplifteducation.org. Thank you to those of you who have already reached out!

• I will be posting reviews of units in preparation for IB testing and practice essay questions on Google Classroom. I'm still trying to figure out how to do this well, so bear with me. I'll post something this week to help start that.
• If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to jhonigman@uplifteducation.org.

• Please check the uplift YouTube Channel for videos to be posted daily. Friday has a Coronavirus Environmental Analysis. Beginning Monday, I will post Review Topics in ESS. For 12th grade, most of these will be review for the DP Exam.
• I suggest scholars watch the videos, take notes, and keep them gathered in one notebook to create a review document for the exam. If there are guided notes I will announce via the video where to get them.
• Please contact me at jmachart@uplifteducation.org with any questions or concerns!

• Subject: DP Math Studies
• Google Classroom: jr2kwxp
• Hello scholars, Ms. Dietrich and I will focus on Topic 1 material this week. Stay tuned for videos uploaded to the Google Classroom along with extra practice problems. Pay close attention to the need of a calculator. As we move forward with review for the external assessment, you will need the appropriate resources that align to what you will use on the DP exam.
• Please contact me with any questions you might have at jworley@uplifteducation.org or kdietrich@uplifteducation.org. Ms. Dietrich and I look forward to assisting you with any questions you may have.

• Please check my Google Classroom for the new assignment titled: List of Artworks Additional Information. It has a file for you to work on and a PowerPoint with instructions and an example.
• You will be giving information only about the artworks in your exhibition. If you started this documentation on another file, copy and paste the information onto this file because it has the proper formatting.
• Please contact me at lthompson@uplifteducation.org with any questions or concerns!

• Google Classroom: bwffzri
• This week, I have posted a Short Film - Portfolio project in the Google classroom. This project will help you in your continued pursuit of finishing the DP program, as you guys are still finishing up your film portfolios. Moving forward, I will be posting something every other Wednesday. For those that have yet to finish recording the Comparative Studies, please make time to finish that portion.
• Also, please stay safe in the midst of pursuing this accomplishment (DP Diploma). Please do not put yourself in harms way to make a short film, whether that be physical harm or mental harm. Your safety is more important to me than finishing!
