Clorox Wipes Needed!
With the flu making it's way around, we are becoming diligent about using Clorox wipes to wipe down tables, chairs, and handles each day at the end of class. If you could send us a tube or two of wipes, we'd appreciate it. We are running low!
IPAD RESPONSIBILITES
We are still noticing that some iPad reminders are needed. Please be sure your child does the following things:
- Charge their iPad every night (It should come to school with no less than 90%)
- Bring a charger with them in their backpack in case it's needed
Thanks for your help!
Grit: Acrostic Style
We thought this acrostic (below) was a great reminder in how to show grit and persevere. We are still working on that last one: take time to do it right. As we move into this second semester, we will be requiring more thoughtful effort in everyday work.
GT Corner
We wanted to make sure you were informed about the organization SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of Gifted Students). You might find some helpful resources on their site:
