Universal & Quarterly Acknowledgements
Quarterly Acknowledgements are our way to say, "Thank You!" to those students who pass all their classes, are referral/penalty box free, and demonstrate active engagement in learning. All students who met these criteria enjoyed some extended Outdoor Play after Quarter 2 ended. Our 3rd Quarterly Acknowledgement will be announced soon!
Student Council
We also continue to sponsor a Spirit Week every month, when students and staff have the opportunity to celebrate common ties, build relationships, and demonstrate school pride and spirit. There has been quite a selection of themes, with more to come!
In attempts to quell the winter doldrums, we invented Spartan Day. March 19th saw our hallways transformed into celebrations of purple and "Spartanism!" We held a door decorating contest, a spirit wear contest, played Spartan Kahoot!, enjoyed special gold and purple food items, and received a visit from our Spartan mascot! It was a day filled with school pride and spirit, which will no doubt be an annual tradition from now on.
Below is our Celebration Assembly from January:
Spartan Store
Universal Lessons
Throughout the month, usually during WIN periods, all students engaged in a Universal Lesson. Students participated in activities centered around:
Improved social awareness
Making responsible decisions
Working together to identify solutions to common problems
Formulating decisions based on guidance from visual prompts
Identifying ways to make and keep friends
Identifying ways to show kindness toward others
Our April Lesson will focus on the Earth Day themes of Reduce, Recycle, and Reuse. Stay tuned!
