Principals Message
Good Afternoon,
Wow, it's awful outside. To put your mind at ease, I did announce to the kids that we have many coats sitting in our lost and found, and a few of them got picked up before dismissal. Please stay safe this weekend.
We had a good week at school. The kids got new encore classes as we started the 2nd semester, and the number of kids who got lost was amazing. It was pretty funny to have to go through the whole "this is where your class is" at this stage of the game. That's a middle schooler for you! Report cards for quarter 2 will go out next week.
Next week is National School Counselor Week. We will celebrate these folks here at school, but sometimes a parent email is the best gift. Please take a moment to find your counselor and social worker in the Guidance section of this newsletter, and send them an email. They work tirelessly to support all of our kids, and we couldn't do it without them.
Enjoy the weekend,
Jill Wnuk

CREC’s Statement of Diversity and Inclusion
“Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) is an intentionally diverse social justice organization whose members work to acknowledge, respect, and empathize with people of all different identifiers, such as race, socioeconomic status, gender identity and expression, education, age, ability, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, language, nationality, and religion. In accordance with CREC’s mission of equity, excellence, and success for all through high-quality educational services, our staff and students commit to participate in and support ongoing equity and inclusion programming through curricular and co-curricular offerings, professional learning, and local and national partnerships. Moreover, CREC staff and students strive to understand and confront the symptoms and causes of systematic oppression—ranging from implicit biases to micro aggressions to discriminatory policies, practices and traditions—that benefit privileged groups. While at CREC, staff and students commit to affirm and honor the lived experiences of others, to willingly challenge inherited beliefs and ideologies, and consequently learn, grow, and serve.”
