Trail Guide 12
Trailblazer Families
This month has been all about Perseverance. One way to think about Perseverance is “pushing yourself through challenges and obstacles." We all experience challenges in our lives. We all have moments when we feel like we can’t do it or that we want to give up on a big task. It is important to develop tools that help us work through those challenges in order to grow in those moments instead of giving up. Our students reminded each other to use positive self talk in tough situations such as, "You can do it", "It's OK to make mistakes" or "Challenges make me stronger." How might you practice Perseverance as a family?

Safety at Arrival & Bell Schedule
Student safety is our #1 priority and it starts the moment students arrive on campus. Our car loop can get busy and we ask that you partner with us to make it a safe environment for everyone. Please pull up as far as you can and wait until our designated arrival time to let students out.
We do not have adult supervision out front for students until 10:20am (Mondays) or 8:45am (Tuesdays- Fridays).
We are noticing that families are dropping students at the front and leaving before the designated arrival time. Please have your students remain in the car for their safety. Our supervision staff will be ready to receive students at the designated time. If your student is a walker, please remind them of our arrival times so they do not arrive too early. The bell schedule is included below.
