Cougar Weekly Update
January 11 , 2018
Principal's Message
Our first full week back has been a great one. We worked on reestablishing routines. As we move into 2019 we will be further exploring what it means to be a digital citizen. A great resource for teachers and parents is www.commonsense.org. This website rates books, video games, movies, and TV shows for children of different ages. You can even personalize the website to be specific to your family. Www.commonsense.org is a good tool for parents and teachers to ensure appropriate media usage for all ages.
Sincerely,
Ann Gwynn
Principal
Magnets Were Everywhere in STEM This Week!
