We are at midterms! We got there so fast it is almost like we missed a week of school :)
Midterms are an excellent time to review your scholar’s grades in Schoology and ensure that all assignments have been submitted. While you are checking grades on the computer, it may also be a good opportunity to review what your scholar is accessing online. In my role, I am sometimes surprised by the content scholars encounter, absorb, and then emulate and say. Please remain attentive to online chats, YouTube Shorts, including content that may bypass kids mode or blockers, and social media platforms.
Anyways, it is always so nice getting to see our scholars wearing their Valentines’ best. Enjoy the three day weekend! |

Our goal is to help families build daily habits and strengthen the school-home connection. This month’s principle is: Optimus Magister Bonus Liber Est – the best teacher is a good book!
