We're Celebrating Disability Awareness Month in January!
We are excited to celebrate Disability Awareness Month in January. Although this celebration typically happens in October, this January celebration marks a very special time for one of our students, who has asked to share her experience as a disabled person, advocate for herself and peers, and help make the high school a more inclusive place. We look forward to increasing our understanding of visible and invisible disabilities and spreading kindness and support as part of our daily practice.

AP Exams
Clock is ticking and we have four months until the AP Computer Science Exams.
Students are supposed to start working on the college board practice exams.
The technology department will soon come up with an update for the AP CSP tutoring and students are required to come to those sessions.

Salesforce Club
My students learned these chapters and continue to learn new chapters.
Chapter 5 Driving the Sales Cycle with Opportunities, continues your knowledge of the sales cycle by covering opportunities, including what opportunities are, how stages function, how the sales path helps you visualize your workflow, how contact roles function, how products and price books function, how quotes function, and how opportunities drive forecasting.
Chapter 6, Achieving Business Goals Using Campaigns, covers how to generate leads by using Salesforce campaigns. You’ll learn what campaigns are, how you can keep track of campaign members, the campaign hierarchy, and how campaigns interact with third-party apps.
Chapter 7, Enhancing Customer Service with Cases, teaches you how to handle customer relations using cases. You’ll learn related case functionality such as escalation rules, entitlements, and service console, as well as how to create cases through Web-to-Case and Email-to-Case.
Chapter 8, Business Analysis Using Reports and Dashboards, covers the basics of reports and dashboards, such as report types and dashboard components.

Ever thought of becoming a Software Engineer?
This after school club can benefit all the computer science focused students as they will learn the basics of Python programming language and will get the chance to do hands-on practice on exercises.
Students would be able to work on a project towards the end of the course and will be confident while solving complex object-oriented programs.
Once again, the python club meets Monday, Tuesday, every other Wednesday, and Thursday from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Biology Class
Hello CMIT!
Recently in Ms. Gonzalez's Biology class, students were able to study an old wasp nest! Students were excited to study and hold the nest as they looked for dried up wax, an example of the major macromolecule, lipids! They were able to see the organization of the combs within the nest, one of the many examples of cell compartmentalization within the natural world. In this unit, students will learn about cells, ranging from their discovery to functions within complex organisms. The discovery of the cell and Robert Hooke's contributions to the cell theory are similar to studying a wasp nest. When he first viewed cells under a microscope, he noticed their structure and compartmentalization, which is why he called them cells in the first place!
