Traver Newsletter 2020
Trimester 2- January-February- March
Happy New Year Traver Families,
I hope you all had a wonderful break with your families and friends.
We are all looking forward to a blank page, a fresh start in 2020. As the students come back, they can expect all learning spaces to be reviewing the classroom and building expectations. This will give them time to reacclimate to a schedule and check in with each other.
At Traver we utilize responsive classroom. What does this look like and sound like? This is common language that we use across the building to help students work on their academic, social and emotional skills while creating an environment that responds to their strengths and needs. We start the day with a morning meeting. This allows all members of the community to check in with each other, team-build and prepare for the day. During morning meetings, games are played, relationships are built and many things are learned about our community and how to best interact with each other.
We will also continue with our state mandated safety drills. All the students at Traver have experienced fire drills, a shelter drill and a lock down drill. The second half of the year we will practice more lock down drills and a fire drill in an age appropriate manner. The Traver students have been fantastic during the drills and we are all very proud of them.
Please continue to use this newsletter for helpful information.
Looking forward to a wonderful second half of the year!
Respectfully,
Mrs. Conrad
