SHREK, Jr.!
Our ADL spring musical performance of Shrek, Jr. was a super, sold-out success! Congratulations to all of our performers and a big thank-you to the many parent volunteers who helped make the show so amazing!
From the Health Office
*We have noticed students contacting their parents/guardians directly to be picked up from school during the school day without first checking in with a teacher or the health office. As outlined in our parent/student handbook, students who become ill during the school day should report to the Health Office for evaluation. The school nurse will assess the illness, contact parents/guardians as necessary, and notify the main office if students are excused due to illness. Thank you for your support with these procedures.
*We have also noticed increasing numbers of students carrying inhalers. In order to support every student who requires this medication at school, it is essential that parents and guardians have their doctor provide the required paperwork. For questions regarding this, please contact Jenna Dalla Mura directly at 878-7027.
SBAC Testing
Our students will be taking the Smarter Balanced English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments this month. Testing dates for ADL are May 6th, 7th, 13th, & 14th. 8th graders will also be taking the state Science assessment on May 20th. For additional information regarding these assessments, please visit the EWSD website curriculum and instruction page.
Celebratory Circles
During our wellness block this week, all homerooms engaged in celebratory community-building circles. Teachers facilitated the circles using a common script and questions developed by our Restorative Practices team. Some of the questions included the following:
*What is an area in which you experienced success this year?
*What is a highlight of the year that you enjoyed?
*How did you help someone this year, or how did someone help you?
We closed out the circles by writing celebrations on small paper pennants that will be displayed throughout the building.
