Weekly Update
McCord Messenger 1/09/23 to 1/13/23
Yesterday was our first club meeting day. Our students were given the opportunity to provide feedback regarding club offerings for the second semester. Our clubs will meet every two weeks during the second semester & we run an adjusted schedule on those days. Students who did not show an interest in participating in a club could utilize that time to work on any homework or assignments for their classes. I have our clubs listed below so you can see what choices our students came up with:
- archery club
- book club
- computer science/coding club
- crochet club
- disc golf club
- diversity/international club
- drama club
- game club
- movie club
- school news club
- scrabble club
- student council
- wordle club
- yearbook club

PACK Behavior Expectations
We wanted to review our PACK expectations for students now that we are well into the second quarter of the school year. Our students have done a great job but it is always good to keep our expectations front and center. We expect students to display these traits in all areas of our building, on the athletic fields, courts and mats and most importantly in the community and at home. Our assist teachers will be reviewing these with our students prior to holiday break. It would be great if you (parents) can review these with your student at home.
P - practice respect
A - act responsibly
C - choose to be involved
K - kindness to others
