Counselor's Corner
Dear Parents,
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday break!
5th grade Parents,
Here are some important dates for the spring semester. 5th Grade Important Dates. 5th grade teachers will also begin nominating students for a program in middle school called AVID. AVID stands for Advancement Via Individual Determination. It is a wonderful program to help your student get organized, learn to take notes, and help guide them academically. Here is a video with more information.
Play it Safe will be presented at BCE on February 8th and 9th. Here is a flyer with more information on Play it Safe in English and Play it Safe in Spanish. The link to preview on January 11th was not working, the correct link is here. Play it Safe Preview.
The character trait for the month of January is Perseverance.
Please let me know if you need anything!
