MAY IB ATTRIBUTE OF THE MONTH-KNOWLEDGEABLE-REFLECTIVE
Students who are reflective give thoughtful consideration to their own learning and experiences. They are able to assess and understand their strengths and limitations in order to support their learning and personal development. IB students have developed an ability to reflect on their learning and to articulate how they learnt.
LATE PICK-UP REMINDER
Late pick up for PYP starts at 3:00 p.m., and late pick up for MYP starts at 4:00 p.m.
After these times, fees will be assessed at $1.00/minute per child. You are also required to park and to come into the school to complete the late pick up form and pick up your scholar.
SAFETY
SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY!
Please remember to use the crosswalk when walking from the parking lot to the school door.
LOVE OF READING PICNIC
For their Community Project, a group of eighth graders created a "Love of Reading Picnic" to help kindergarten, first, and second graders see the value of reading.
They hosted all three grade levels and did a great job of getting to know the PYP scholars and their favorite books!

Cell phones must be turned off and in backpacks at all times while scholars are on campus. In addition, smartwatches are not permitted to be worn during school hours. They must be left in backpacks while on campus.
CONDUCT SCORES
Each week, your K-8 scholar will receive a weekly conduct score to open the line of communication between home and school. This information will help you have meaningful conversations with your scholar and their teacher about their conduct. Conduct scores do NOT carry a grade weight or any value toward final grade calculations.
Conduct scores can be viewed in PowerSchool after 5PM on Fridays!
Here is where to view your scholar's conduct score(s):
Grades K-3: Log into PowerSchool and click on Homeroom for Q4.
Grades 4-8: Log into PowerSchool and click on each class for Q4.
