Also, please remember that we MUST maintain social distancing regulations of 6 feet, even in line to enter the building. We know it is very tempting to get almost to the doors and just sneak in out of the cold, but we must keep those distances. Thank you!

As we wrap up the 1st quarter, we teachers are busy grading and regrading work that has been done. Report cards will be coming out in the next few weeks, but please have a conversation with your child about their progress. Grades are available in Infinite Campus so you and they know what will be coming on the reports card. Please discuss the concerns, if any, but also remember to highlight the hard work and effort that applies to the successful grades.

We have heard from you that navigating the mobile school is challenging for you. Please remember that when we introduce online resources, we expect the kids to understand how to get to these, not you. However, here is a resource that might help you to understand when your kid uses website names in conversation and you think they may as well as be speaking Greek. It's hard enough to keep up on all the phone apps and sites they use, so we hope this will help.

Parents in today's world have a whole new way of interacting and engaging with their children than in earlier generations. The word “parenting” didn’t exist until the late 1950’s and wasn’t commonly used until the 1970’s (etymonline). The way we think about raising, caring for, and education youth has changed as this word has become more commonplace. In many ways we have become coaches. We train them, give them pep talks, problem solve with them, and then when game time comes, they’re on the field and we’re on the sidelines. Coaches can’t go on the field- coaches don’t go in to win the game for their players. And, like coaches, taking time to celebrate, encourage, process, and reflect with our students is vital to their future successes. Taking this idea into school will support your student while slowly off-loaning the responsibilities of school and life from you to them.

Mining the Middle School Mind and Executive Functions for Students in Middle School provides educators and parents alike ideas on methods to be students’ coaches.
