Open Letter to All My Students:
Well here we are...the start of a new school year. I thought the summer was
great but it's really wonderful to be back at school again. Believe it or
not, but I miss the place when I've been gone too long. Or maybe I miss the
students. Anyway this should prove to be an exciting year for all. I have
lots of material to cover with each of you.
For the 11th grade, I will be diving head first into my new "Intro to
Business" text box initially. We will be also incorporating the three
computer modules comprised of Retailing, Business Management, and Personal
Finance. Somewhere during the year we will be introducing the Stock Market
Game.
For those 7th and 8th graders I will be continuing with Computer Literacy
class. The length has increased to encompass one half of the school year at
which time you will then switch over to Art on Monday and Tuesday with Health
on the remaining days of the week. We will be going into a great deal more
detail since our time has increased. This course is designed to get you off
and running when you hit high school.
For those of you in the Computer Application classes we are going to cover
the more popular software applications used in business today. All the
computers in the school have been updated to Office 2007. If you know Office
2003 it is very similar but you will find the button and switches moved
around on ALL of us. Some of you will be in your second year and will be
required to demonstrate more depth and creativity with each assignment. We
WILL achieve all the established
goals together.
As I have in the past, I will be moderating a simulated Stock Market game.
For some students this will be a small part of their course grade but for
all involved this will be a fun filled exercise that will hopefully open
your eyes to the world financial markets.
I require and expect each student to arrive to class on time. On time means
that you are in your seat with your books and materials at hand ready to go
to work or already working before the bell rings. DON’T come running and
pushing your way in as the bell rings. You have three (2) minutes between
classes which is more than ample time to move from one end of the building
to the other. All chairs and tray tables WILL be pushed in to the
appropriate desk before departing the classroom. ALL classroom materials
will be returned to there proper storage area before departing the
classroom. Failure to respect classroom rules and standard common sense
behavior will result in a minimum of lunch detention and escalate from there
depending on the circumstances and the repetitiveness of the infraction.
This letter is not intended to be all inclusive to every situation. I am a
firm believer in the use of common sense.
I welcome each and every one of you to the POCS family. Yes, I said family,
because that is how I feel about OUR school and everyone in it.
Peace and Prosperity,
Mr. John T. Dunick
