In order to pause the spread of COVID in our school community, Corbett 8/9 Academy and Corbett High School will have virtual school Monday 11/8-Friday 11/12 (Zoom School). The number of students that have tested positive for COVID, are on quarantine as a result of direct contact with a COVID-positive person, or have pending COVID test results increased exponentially as the week wore on, and this effort aims to prevent further spread and quarantines before the end of the trimester, Thanksgiving, and the beginning of the winter sports season.

Effective Sunday 11/7 through Sunday 11/14, clubs, sports, and other on campus activities for students in grades 8-12 are cancelled. This includes preseason sports workouts, open gym, 8th grade participation in 7/8 boys basketball, etc.

Classes will meet at their regular times on Zoom, and will last 45 minutes. Teachers will email their class a Zoom link and other needed information shortly. Look out for these emails, as they will contain important updates specific to each class.

Any late work deadlines scheduled for November 8-12 will be pushed back to November 16 (or later). Teachers will continue to communicate late work deadlines to students. The end of trimester 1 is still Thursday, November 18.

Students will have homeroom on Monday at the usual time. During homeroom on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, homeroom teachers will schedule individual conferences with students in their homerooms to review grades and missing assignments as trimester 1 comes to a close. Students that are not scheduled to meet with their teacher during homeroom on a particular day will have additional study hall time.

If your student develops symptoms or tests positive, please continue to let us know so we can contact trace and measure the effectiveness of this ���pause��� in reducing spread.

If student(s) needs lunch for the week, complete this form. Additional information will be sent to families that complete the form. Deadline to complete this form: 5 p.m. on Saturday, 11/6/21.

Thanks for your ongoing patience, flexibility, and support in educating our students.

During the 2005 school year Corbett School began expanding the AP program from a few select students taking a dozen or so tests per year to 166 exams during the 2007 school year.�� During 2007 about one third of the student body participated in the AP program. This growth represented a huge improvement in access and equity for students. But, it was not enough. Denying opportunity by restricting access to AP courses for the other two thirds of the population was a self-fulfilling prophecy that would result in the loss of opportunity for students not enrolled in AP.�� It was a moral obligation to set a goal to further improve equity and access.

During the 2008 school year Corbett launched its ���AP for ALL��� program.�� Since 2008 participation in AP courses has become nearly universal for students in Corbett.�� A culture has grown where the most common course request from a student is ���Can I have another AP course?����� Now the average student at Corbett takes just over 11 AP courses in their career, an astounding number!

I have long championed the notion that taking AP courses is of immense value even for students who score a one or a two on their exam.�� Indeed, in an AP for ALL climate a previously underserved student who earns a one or a two on an exam may have learned more from a��� knowledge add perspective��� than a student who started the course with other advantages.�� However, something else wonderful is happening at Corbett. Our goal of providing equity and access is now also manifesting itself in achievement on the AP exams.

In Oregon, only about 14% of the Class of 2010 passed one or more Advanced Placement exams by the end of their high school careers. This year in Corbett School over 17% of the entire student body was named an AP Scholar, AP Scholar with Honor, or an AP Scholar with Distinction! Further, more than 45% of the entire student body of Corbett School passed one or more AP tests.�� This 45% pass rate approximately triples the pass rate in Oregon for the average student���s entire high school career!�� Corbett School students��� achievements are not average!

Through meeting a moral obligation to provide equity and access to ALL students, Corbett School has provided students with an opportunity, the opportunity associated with achievement.�� I look forward to continuing our work on providing equity, access, and achievement to ALL students in Corbett School.

Yours in education,
Randy Trani Ed. D.
