2nd Semester Humanities Changes
This change does not impact 100% online students. Fully online students will receive live, synchronous lessons in PE, Music, Spanish, and Art, more information to come soon!
*************************************************************
Cold Weather Gear
This year, it is even more important to make sure that students bring boots, hats, snow pants, and gloves because each cohort has an assigned area on the playground during recess and they must stay in that area.
Boots and snow pants help keep shoes and pants from getting wet, cold and muddy.

January At Home Activity

Activity: Collage and Family Mission Statement
Due Date: January 29th
Please see attached activities below. We would love to have you share your Family Mission Statement with us by January 29th, so we can proudly display our families practicing the 7-Habits at home!
Habit #2 Begin with the End in Mind- "I have a plan"
What this means: Have a mission, a clear sense of where you want to go. Think about the end first- how are you going to get there?
“I plan ahead and set goals.”
“I do things that have meaning and make a difference”
“I am important part of my classroom.”
“I look for ways to be a good citizen.”
How can I do this in my life?
1. Write down your goals. It is said that "A goal not written is only a wish.”
2. Lay out your clothes for tomorrow the night before.
3. Write down 3 goals you want to accomplish.
