Next Thursday, October 4th, Wredling students will participate in a building-wide team day. The instructional purpose of this day is to cultivate and promote the elements of connectedness, collaboration, and community within our students and staff. Throughout the day, your child will participate in a myriad of activities such as the Wredling Amazing Race, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Career Cruising Inventories/Career Matchmaker, and team activities that promote teamwork and collaboration. Below is a brief description of each of the activities your child will participate in next Thursday.

The Amazing Race activities planned will present students with the opportunity to develop team communication, cooperation, and skills in problem-solving. Every activity will require students to find their strengths, collaborate as a team, and work through success and failure.

During our Social Emotional Learning (SEL) lesson, our students will review our school-wide charter to build a positive culture and climate here at Wredling. At the start of the year, students were asked to reflect on two questions to help create our school charter: How do you want to feel when you are here at Wredling? What do we need to do to experience these feelings consistently and to create a positive learning environment? Students will sign the school charter and have an opportunity to create an artistic representation of what the charter means to them.

In addition, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students will work in Career Cruising where 8th grade students will take a “Matchmaker Inventory, which identifies career fields that match with your child’s current interests and 6/7th grade students will complete the “Learning Style Inventory” to identify strategies that will help them to be successful throughout their school year. In addition, all students will complete a “Connection Card” which provides us with information as to whom your child most connects with during their school day.

10/10/18 - 6:30-8:30 p.m.

St. Charles North High School Auditorium

The purpose of the film Angst is to raise awareness and have conversations about anxiety. It features candid interviews with kids who have struggled with anxiety, as well as discussions with mental health professionals. At the end of the film there will be a 30 minute panel discussion led by the D303 Counseling Team.

As part of our agreement with the production company, we are able to show the film in both middle schools and both high schools during the week of October 8. This will provide parents and students an opportunity to have conversations at home about what they saw.
