Today in Computer Science Education week we will explore Machine Learning.
Machine learning is a type of AI that enables systems to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. So instead of programming the computer, the computer is trained on statistical models and data, and uses this data to make further predictions.

As sports and winter performances occur this month, please review the weekly bulletin. Come out and enjoy our students in action as they show off their talents.
I know it seems like the first term just ended, but progress reports are just around the corner. Teachers will submit grades on the 11th, and progress reports will go live on the 13th. Be sure to visit the family portal or download the county app to stay current on your student's grades.
This year, we will again do school spirit days, the last 12 days before winter break. Be sure to check out the days and themes in the From the Helm newsletter.
Parents and guardians of seniors, to stay current, check out the Senior section in the newsletter specifically for senior information. Right now, two critical items for seniors are ensuring they get a senior picture taken and submitted to the school and being aware of college application deadlines. They must submit a senior picture to appear in the yearbook. We offer a school-based opportunity for any senior who has yet to get their senior portraits done. Please see senior section for more details. Seniors also need to remember that teachers and counselors are off during the winter break, so for any college deadlines that fall between December 20th and January 5th, the deadline to notify counselors for submission is December 6th. If you decide to wait, it could mean you won't get your college of choice.
