Mid-Trimester Check In
We are now halfway through the first trimester, and this is a great time to check in with your child on how things are going, what their goals are and any adjustments you can make to systems for homework and school. Teachers will be updating all grades as of this Friday, and sending home a progress report for any students who are not currently passing a class. You can check Schoology to see your child's grades, their classes, and communicate with teachers. We are excited to see how much progress students are making, the GRIT that they are showing, and can't wait to see what they can do the second half of this trimester!
Bloom Workshop for Mothers and Daughters--October 14th
A fun and engaging one-day retreat, where mothers and daughters (ages 12-14) deepen their bond and celebrate the beautiful journey of womanhood together. At Bloom, we're all about embracing the
cycles that shape us – both physically and emotionally. From enlightening workshops on cycle awareness, nutrition, mental health and exercise, to sharing invaluable tips on parenting through the exciting puberty years.
