Joining me today is Joe Chandler, Principal of Brenham High School. Most of us know what principals do: oversee the school staff and teachers and provide students with a safe, productive learning environment. When I go to the Brenham High School campus, I see Principal Chandler connecting with students, giving students guidance, and boosting their self-esteem to help students achieve their academic goals. Today Principal Chandler shares the latest news from Brenham High School.

A lot has happened over the last few months and although our facilities are closed, we are all very much hard at work. Bring us up to speed with what you and your staff have been doing at Brenham High School since we ceased normal school operations. We were so happy to hear that we are able to recognize our honor graduates and scholarship recipients in person. Tell us about the scholarship ceremony happening on June 1. Even more exciting is the announcement that we will, indeed, have an in-person graduation ceremony to celebrate our 2020 graduating seniors. What do students, parents, and the community need to know about that event? I know the staff and students of Brenham High School were hoping to hold prom at the end of this month, but in order to comply with the governor’s orders, that event has been postponed. What can you tell us about prom moving forward? I know the class of 2020 is special to you, as they were freshmen when you began your tenure as principal at Brenham High School. What message do you have for them as they enter the next chapter of their lives?

Q. How is Brenham ISD planning to conduct virtual parent meetings for students who are identified as Gifted and Talented to discuss program options? A. BISD usually provides an in-person Gateway parent meeting for parents to have the opportunity to meet the grade level Gateway teachers, hear from the campus principals, and learn about the aspects of the program. In order to ensure this can still occur, Brenham ISD will be providing virtual grade level Gateway parent meetings on Tuesday, April 28, and Wednesday, April 29. Staff members will be reaching out to parents about details on how to log into the meetings. Parents will have a chance to hear about the program components of both Gateway and CSI. In addition, they will get the opportunity to meet the Gateway teachers and hear from the campus principals. The meeting should not last longer than an hour and parents will also be able to ask questions. Although we will miss the special touch of seeing everyone in person, this will be a productive meeting and we look forward to hearing from our parents. Q. What do our secondary students and parents need to know about the changes that have occurred in regards to Advanced Placement tests for college credit? A. The College Board has given a unique opportunity for Advanced Placement students to decide if they would still like to take the college credit advanced placement exams. The exam dates will be given from May 11-22 with makeup test dates from June 1-5. Q. What changes have been made to the length and format of the Advanced Placement tests? The College Board has shortened the test and modified the format. Students can take exams at home on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. They will be able to type and upload their responses or write responses by hand and submit a photo via their cell phones. Students can also test at Brenham High School on a Chromebook following state and local health guidelines. For most subjects, the exams will be 45 minutes long, plus an additional 5 minutes for uploading. Students will need to access the online testing system 30 minutes early to get set up. Q. Is there any specific information pertaining to certain tests? A. Certain courses—Art and Design: 2D; Art and Design: 3D; Computer Science Principles; Drawing; Research; and Seminar—will use portfolio submissions and will not have a separate online exam. All deadlines for these submissions have been extended to May 26, 2020, 11:59 p.m. ET. Teachers and students may receive separate course-specific communications. Students taking world language and culture exams will complete two spoken tasks consistent with free-response questions 3 and 4 on the current AP Exam. Written responses will not be required. Teachers will provide additional details in the coming weeks to help students prepare. Q. Where can students and parents find out more information about the Advanced Placement tests? Brenham High School administrators Joe Chandler and Erin Thibodeaux have been working diligently with teachers and counselors to come up with a solid plan to help students navigate this process and be prepared for the tests. I cannot say enough about the level of commitment that our AP teachers have demonstrated and their desire to see each student succeed even in these challenging times. Students who are continuing to take the test have been contacted, teachers are providing lessons on Google Classroom to prepare and review for the tests, and more information will be given regarding testing environments. We ask that parents and students check emails and Google Classroom regularly for updates from teachers.

Casey Affleck has been in the paper a lot recently for not the right reasons. Without getting involved or placing an opinion of the alleged allegations against Casey Affleck, I believe his career in Hollywood and acting should not be judged by his actions outside of acting. This is my own personal viewpoint, and shall be throughout my review of Manchester by the Sea.   Directed by Kenneth Lonergan, Machester follows the events from the perspective of Joe Chandler, a handyman from Quincy, Massachusetts, after he receives a call of word that his brother is having a heart attack. Arriving too late in Manchester, Joe is given the guardianship of his brothers son Patrick. The majority of the film is in the present day as Joe tries to figure out what to do with Patrick, whilst having a total disconnect to the town itself. For the rest of the film, flashbacks are used as exposition to explain why Joe is the way he is, and how he came to leave Manchester to live in Quincy in the first place. Without spoiling anything major, this film is very dark, brutal, and cold. The events which occur in them are quite shocking and depressing, however they are also bookended by some truly hilarious black comedy, and situational moments. Not many people agree with me, however I see Manchester by the Sea as a black comedy drama rather than just a drama, as almost all of the comedic moments in the film are perfect, timed well, and make light somehow, of the very sad slice of life mentality the film holds. Lonergan hasn’t directed since 2011, the film being Margaret, but it’s like he hasn’t been out of action at all. The directing skills he has show in the film, each staging of the shots and actors positions are smooth and sublime, whilst the acting itself is fantastic. Affleck needs to be talked about solely as this is easily a career best for him. His lack of emotion as Joe is heart wrenching, especially when intercut with scenes from his past where you can still see the light in his eyes, the love in his voice, and his boyish charm. His present self is slow, uncaring, and saddening. You don’t need to be told what he’s gone through as you can just tell from looking at the way he acts. Special mention must be given to Lucas Hedges as well, as his performance as Patrick Chandler is a perfect example of a teenager forced to deal with adult situations. The character of Patrick is very brutal and rare itself, and seeing him interact with a much younger Joe in flashbacks provides further moments of the realisation of the tough lives the pair lead. Moving away from the plot, the actual production and planning for this film must be given credit too due to the length of time spent trying to get it made, and overall development of such. The film was produced by Matt Damon, who originally was meant to star in it as well in Affleck’s role. However, this changed to having John Krasinski as main actor a bit later, before Casey Affleck was finally locked down to be the main star. With pre production of the film beginning all the way back in September of 2014, it's brilliant to see how far the film went through development to finally air worldwide in 2017. Manchester by the Sea is also filmed in its namesake, Manchester by the Sea, which adds to the realism to the film, as the plot is quite natural and easily could happen in real life. Additionally, the music by Lesley Barber in this film is marvellous as well, being an eerie mix between ethereal and hallowing tones. It's hard to discuss the film in detail without dropping too much about plot, so I urge anyone who is capable of withstanding a brutal 137 minute sitting to go and see this film. Currently nominated for 6 academy awards, with Affleck being the frontrunner for best actor, Manchester by the Sea deserves the praise it's received, as it’s a both a film and example of the hardships in life.   Written by Hamish Vallance

It's hard to discuss the film in detail without dropping too much about plot, so I urge anyone who is capable of withstanding a brutal 137 minute sitting to go and see this film. Currently nominated for 6 academy awards, with Affleck being the frontrunner for best actor, Manchester by the Sea deserves the praise it's received, as it’s a both a film and example of the hardships in life.

As Ken reminds us, “We need to focus instead on our only assets, our people who have all been through several technology shifts in their life. They have seen hardware evaporate into software and become data in the IoT cloud or processes acted on at the edge.” 2016 ControlTrends Highlights: Coverage of the Siemens CPS October Business National Sales Meeting in Chicago.
