Welcome to Week 26!
Greetings Team Wolverines!
Thank you to our SCA for hosting our first in-person family engagement activity! Our next family movie night is 3/24. The PTSA is also offering a spirit night at Mod Pizza on Wednesday!
The National Junior Honor Society is sponsoring a shoe box drive to benefit Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child. Please consider having your student participate in this community service activity. A display table has been set up in the lobby and additional details are included below. Thank you for your support!
Have a great week 26!

Code Beats Live!
Code Beats Live!
Fri. March 18, 6:15pm
Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU (601 W. Broad St.)
Code Beats is an interdisciplinary research project led by Dr. David Shepherd, Associate Professor, VCU Engineering Computer Science Dept. and Dr. Taylor Barnett, Assistant Professor, VCUarts Dept. of Music.
This one-hour program (7pm) features live music performed by Hip Hop Artist Dumi Right and VCUarts Music students, a live coding demonstration, and information about the July 18-22, 2022 Code Beats summer program for Richmond-area middle school students.
Come early (6:15pm) to enjoy some refreshments and to play with several interactive technology stations, including Virtual and Augmented Reality, industrial robots, and digital music!
About Code Beats:
Code Beats works to broaden youth participation in computing by teaching students to create authentic-sounding hip-hop beats using fundamental computer programming concepts. The project aims to particularly engage Black, Latinx, and female youth during the critical middle school years, when many students decide whether future opportunities in Computer Science merit consideration.
The Code Beats summer program is funded by a National Science Foundation grant.

Exceptional Education Resource Fair-March 16
Attendance
It is important that students attend school each day and arrive on time to ensure they are receiving all of their instruction. Please see below for important information regarding attendance.
· School starts at 8:05 each day. Students are considered tardy if they arrive at 8:30 or later.
· Notify the school by calling the front office at (804) 515-1100 if your child will be absent from school. If we are not notified of an absence, your child will be marked absent unexcused automatically.
· Our attendance team regularly monitors student attendance. Families of students with five or more unexcused absences will be required to meet to develop a support plan for attendance.
· If there is anything we can do to support your efforts in making sure your child is at school every day, please reach out to your child’s school counselor or our Family Advocate, Mrs. Clarke!
