Mid-Term Grades
Masks
Please make sure your child brings an extra mask to school each day. We have been giving out 30-40 masks per day to students and it would be helpful if students had an extra mask in case a mask breaks or needs to be replaced. Masks are required for the bus and to enter the school.
Mask wearing on school buses
Below is a message from our bus company regarding students not having a mask and/or not properly wearing masks on the bus.
It is imperative that students have a mask when they board the bus and wear it properly during the bus ride. This is a safety issue and we will issue disciplinary consequences if necessary.

Counseling Chronicles
Each month, the Social Workers/Counselors in HSD153 put out a newsletter. This year, each newsletter will feature an SEL skill that would be helpful for our students to master.
Skill Spotlight
September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. It's important to teach children coping skills that can help them face their fears, calm themselves down, and cheer themselves up. Here are a few emotion-focused and problem-focused coping skills to practice with your child.
- Labeling feelings
- Learning positive self-talk
- Watch a funny movie
- Create a calm-down kit
- Practicing the script for asking for help
- Make a list of pros and cons
