GRANDVIEW SCHOOL SURVEY
Hour of Code Week December 4-8
All Clarenceville Schools are participating!
The Hour of Code started as a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to to show that anybody can learn the basics of computer science. It has since become a worldwide effort to celebrate computer science, starting with 1-hour coding activities but expanding to all sorts of community efforts.
The Hour of Code takes place each year. The 2017 Computer Science Education Week will be December 4-10,
GRANDVIEW HIGHLIGHTS!
Each month, we meet as a school community and learn a new character trait.
December focus = GRATITUDE.
Ask you child!
Mustang of the Week/Mustang of the Month
Teachers are choosing a student each week to honor!! Students are chosen based on teacher recommendation: student progress, effort, improvement, character, grit, citizenship, and more.
Principal's Breakfast
Mustangs of the Week are invited to the Mustang of the Month Principal's Breakfast!
Our first one honored 30 students!
Horseshoe Heroes
Students are working on living the character trait of the month. When students live their trait, teachers are catching them being a 'Horseshoe Hero' and are rewarding with a sticker on their individual horseshoe. When the students fill their horseshoe with the lucky number of 13 stickers, they are honored as a 'Horseshoe Hero' at the next Mustang Assembly.
