It's the last Monday of the year and we are so excited about our progress up to this point. Back in August we weren't sure if we'd make it to Labor Day in person, let alone until winter break. COVID conditions in our community are still troubling and we have to remain dedicated to preventing community spread, but we are so thankful for the dedication and support of our students and families. We are in this together and we will continue to do our best in what has become our new normal.
Our student leadership team keeps coming up with ways to brighten the day and celebrate. This Wednesday and Thursday are ugly sweater days. We encourage all students to wear their most beautiful holiday sweater. No sweater, no problem! Some of the best sweaters I've ever seen have been created in under 5 minutes by pinning random holiday themed items to a shirt or sweatshirt. We hope all students will show their Scout Spirit on Wednesday and Thursday. The grade with the best participation will earn points towards the Scout Cup.
The first semester ends on January 15th. We will have I/E from 8:00-11:00 that morning. All work that is going to be submitted for credit, must be in by 11:00 on the 15th. Report cards will be mailed out the following week. There are three I/E days before the end of the semester. We encourage all students to come in on Fridays, stay after school, and do whatever else it takes to demonstrate their learning. All teachers and staff are here to help. Please email me if you have any questions or need to sign your student up for additional support.
We wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season. The next two weeks are a time for us to collectively exhale, spend time with loved ones, and prepare to sprint towards the end of the first semester. Have a great winter break and we can't wait to put 2020 behind us and excel in 2021. The race for excellence has no finish line and we are thankful to be running this race with everyone.
