TEACHER SPOTLIGHT:
Mr. Jeremy Burke was chosen as this week's teacher spotlight. He is an eighth grade science teacher, and he is also a cross country and tennis coach. I asked Mr. Burke a few questions about his teaching experience here at Seminole County Middle/High School. The first question I asked him was why he chose to work here and be a teacher. He responded by saying, “I used to have my own business, and I was tired of working during the holidays. I also wanted to make science more fun for the students in our community. This has been a good change for me. I have enjoyed teaching.” I had him in the eighth grade for science, and I can honestly say that he has done an amazing job making science very fun for his students. The next question I asked him was what his hobbies were. He said his favorites were fishing, working outdoors, and gardening. Teacher always have great stories about embarrassing moments, so I asked Mr. Burke was what his most embarrassing moment had been. He said, “One time we were doing a static electricity experiment, and I had to put on a wig; the static electricity made it stick up everywhere! That is a look I definitely don’t want to repeat.” Finally, I asked Mr. Burke to share his favorite teaching memory. He said, “While doing experiments with our solar ovens, someone's oven got so hot that it caught on fire.” The day was certainly not boring, and those ovens worked better than Mr. Burke had expected! In my experience as one of Mr. Burke’s students, I can say that he was and will always be one of my favorite teachers. He makes science fun and enjoyable, which in turn, makes his students more interested in science and science experiments. Thank you, Mr. Burke!

Offering Virtual Learning to students - as part of Seminole County School’s re-opening plan, the system is seeking applications of interest from parents to declare their interest in a full-time, distance learning model. Parents interested in declaring the full-time distance learning model need to understand that there is a semester-long commitment for distance learning and changes to each option cannot occur until the next grading period. Interest applications for students in grades K-12 must be declared by 5:00 p.m. on July 24, 2020. Each declared interested application will be reviewed by a district committee. The online application will not guarantee enrollment. In order for the full-time distance learning model to make at the K-5 level, minimum class sizes must be met. Interested parents should complete the interest application, which can be accessed through the following link: https://bit.ly/3ffK0Fq
