Excellence in Youth

First Quarter Checklist

Parents/Guardians - Be sure to ask your students what they have been up to in EY so far this year. Enrichment opportunities have been underway in each building during the first month of school.

Have your child show you the following EY resources:

EY Website
Badge Page (show one you have completed or want to complete soon)
Mini Spark (any subject)
Student's Reading and/or Math Digital Notebook (show completed sections/modules)

EY WEBSITE - YOUR ONE STOP INFORMATION HUB!

The EY program website is the hub of communication for the EY Team. For our K-8 students, monthly challenges, seminars and events, as well as other learning opportunities are posted to the site on a regular basis.

All students are encouraged to participate in the opportunities posted, regardless of whether they have been identified for the EY Program. Students can participate independently by accessing the opportunities at home or during tech time at school. Teachers may also facilitate these whole and small-group enrichment opportunities for students in the classroom.
