Welcome,
We've had a strong start to the 2009-10 school year and have just passed the mid-point of the semester! There have been many activities keeping students engaged with our school community, including an online all-school assembly with great participation from our students and faculty. Students and parents have enjoyed field trips and social events, with the fun of meeting each other face to face.
A college planning webinar was hosted by one of Insight's academic counselors to help students plan and prepare for their post-secondary education. Students also participated in a scavenger hunt which took them through the Angel Learning System. And they experienced fun podcasts created by some of their supervising teachers.
At Insight School of California — Los Angeles, we believe that engagement is an important component of our students' high school experience. Engaged students spend more time working on their school work each day. And their overall experience is more enjoyable when they feel connected at a deeper level.
There is also a direct correlation between consistent daily attendance and academic achievement. Our school just wrapped up "Insight Rocks," a participatory attendance contest where students built their bands and earned points each day that they logged into their courses. The points were entered into drawings for monthly prizes and a grand prize. The contest was great fun, and the result was improved student attendance and performance.
As we finish up the second half of the semester, it is just as important for students to remain on track towards successful course completion. Our faculty, supervising teachers, iMentors, administrators and staff are all here to support our students in achieving successful outcomes.
Happy Holidays!
Sheila Shiebler
Executive Director
Insight School of California
