DISQUS

JSIS is NOT a magnet school. The spots are being taken up by siblings first, then neighborhood kids by distance second.

In the new assignment plan, the earlier draft had an English-only option to be added at JSIS, but now it says , "John Stanford International School (JSIS) will be an attendance area school offering language immersion in Spanish and Japanese. This will be a whole school program (all students participating in the language immersion program). Because there will not be an “English” path, JSIS will be linked with another attendance area school. If a family does not want the language immersion program, or if the language immersion program is not appropriate for a student, the linked school would serve as the attendance area school."

"The best conversationalists are also the best listeners."

This is a hard one for me. I tend to interrupt in a conversation because my brain is already formulating my response.

However, when using applications such as IM and Google Chat I am forced to "listen" to the entire response and I like that. It's good training for real life :)

I'm a long-time Holly Yeager fan and love that she's landed at the Independent. How cool is that!

A message from South Texas--hate to see Dr. Z go. He is a great leader and I hate to see who they will bring in. Our board needs to learn how to retain a great supt.
