November 9th - November 13th
Families,
We are entering our last week of Quarter 1. Please see below for our schedule this week.
Tuesday is the last day to submit work. Please use Tuesday to connect with any teacher by going into their Office Hours through Canvas. They will be available all day for phone calls or emails, and in their virtual classrooms from 9:00 - 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 - 2:30 p.m.
Thank you for being patient as the district releases the plan for bringing students back to a Hybrid Model of school. We will be able to bring back half of our students on campus at a time. It's only two days of in-person instruction, but it's a huge step forward to bringinng students to campus!
One thing we do know for sure is that we will start our Quarter 2 on November 16th. We will remain in the A/B schedule until we transition to a Hybrid Model. November 16th will be an A-Day where students have their Period 1 class that morning.
We will be surprising families this Thursday and Friday at home for students who are recipients of our October Student of the Month! Thank you to ALL of our students who display Perseverance each and every day!
See the Family Character Dare below for a suggestion on building some intentional time into your family life. Our November Middle Years article is also available for you as well.
Have the best week!
Mr. Sale

SWEET SURPRISE
Grab what you know to be a family member's favorite candy and surprise them with it by leaving it somewhere you know they will find it.
See if you can get away with it being totally anonymous and pretend like it wasn't you if they ask.
