TOUCHSTONE THEATER
Please consider signing your child up for the Touchstone Building Bridges After-School Program. The Building Bridges program uses theatre and creative drama to facilitate cultural competency, self-awareness, and communication with students. By the end of the program, the students have created, with guidance from the Touchstone Teaching artists, an original performance to share with classmates, teachers, counselors, and family. Student impact throughout this program includes more effective verbal and non-verbal communication skills, increased self-control, improved critical thinking skills, enriched problem-solving and decision-making skills, increased self-esteem, and a stronger sense of group/community. Registration is limited and will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis.

DAY CYCLE CORRECTION
On Jan. 3, we will skip ahead in the day cycle to Day 2. During Parent-Teacher Conference Days, we repeated Day 2 (Day 2 AM and PM), which put us 1 day behind the other Elementary Schools. To stay consistent with the other schools, we will correct this by returning from the Winter Break on the same day in the cycle as the other buildings (Day 2).
