Edgewater High School Community Brief
Monday, May 25, 2020
|
And then there were two . . . two days of school. Yes, that means we are 98.888889% done with the school year. So, why even bother with the last two days of school? Let's think about the things that would have never been accomplished in history or science if not for the last 1.11%:
1) Water wouldn't boil at 208 degrees. It can only boil at 212 degrees.
2) Roger Bannister never would have run a sub 4 minute mile. He ran it in 3:59.
3) You can do 99 favors for someone out of 100, but they only remember the one you didn't do.
4) Recovering from illness.
5) Earning a concordant score to become graduation eligible (pre-pandemic).
6) We wouldn't have made it to States in football last year.
According to Clayton Christiansen, Jack Canfield and Susie Moore, 98% (99%) is hard and 100% is easy. Why? Because when you give 100%, there are no decisions to make. There are no choices, no options. It's going to get done. The 100% rule applies to my mother when she quit smoking in 1985. She quit cold turkey and I never saw another Benson and Hedges pack in my house growing up.
Our staff is still calling students, sending them messages, reminding them about work that needs to be turned in up until the last day. We won't stop until the proverbial bell rings on Wednesday. There is knowledge to be gained and strong work habits to be fortified by continuing to work through Wednesday afternoon. Because the 100% rule is not about school, it's about life.

"The Pride of College Park and Orlando"
Pictured at very top: Memorial Day is a very different day of reflection than Veterans Day. Veterans Day is the time we set aside to honor everyone who has worn the uniform. But, Memorial Day, is the day when we remember those who willingly laid down their lives for love of country and freedom.
On this Monday, May 25, 2020 Edgewater High School remembers those U.S. service men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation.

Summer School 2020
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, summer school will be virtual for all programs offered. It will run June 2 - June 25, 2020 (all Fridays with the exception of June 7th will be non-attendance days). Student attendance hours are 7:30 am to 3:30 pm. Summer school courses offered to Edgewater students included credit recovery through OCVS. PERT Prep Camp, Algebra 1 Boot Camp, The Calculus Project, and Extended School Year (ESY) will be hosted by EHS.
Students will receive an email notifying them if there were registered for a credit recovery course. It is important for students to log in to their course(s) no later than the first three days to avoid being dropped from any of the enrolled summer school programs.
Description of programs offered:
Credit Recovery courses provide students instruction through an on-line program, called Edgenuity. Edgenuity offers a standards-aligned video-based curriculum for high school students in all core content areas. This program will run through OCVS.
The Calculus Project is offered to select rising 9th-grade students for a preview of Algebra 2 Honors. Names were provided to EHS by the feeder middle schools. Students have received an email to their student email accounts for registration. Space is limited!
PERT Prep Camp (math only) is designed to help students receive a concordant score on the PERT test to fulfill the Algebra 1 EOC requirement. A letter was mailed out to eligible students and the students received an email to their student email accounts for registration. Space is limited!
The ESY program will be offered to selected exceptional education students based on their IEP data.
