February 22nd

Important Information:

• Your weekly character challenge is here!  Taking risks can be scary:  however, taking reasonable risks is part of life.  Applying for a new class, trying a new hobby or making a new friend can feel risky but also can have great rewards.  And healthy risk taking can help you build confidence, responsibility, social skills and decision-making abilities.

• Starting Tuesday, February 22nd we will transition to using our traditional cafeteria set up, which means that we will not use the auxiliary gym for additional lunchroom seating. Also, this means that we will no longer ask students to complete seating charts, nor will we limit seating to 4 students to a table.
