We are one week away from the first day of school! We are excited for an amazing beginning to what is going to be a fantastic year. To better serve students, we have made some structural changes to our school day. We will have a 7th period day similar to Laramie High School instead of our traditional 8 period day. This allows for more time in each class and provides for an intervention/extension (I/E) period once per week like our high school. In our new schedule, our advisory class Scouts for Scouts (S4S) will occur once per week on Wednesday afternoons and our I/E period will follow S4S. We will still have block days on Tuesdays and Wednesdays as before. Our student leadership team made the video below to share more information about back to school happenings.
Schedules for 7th and 8th grade students were mailed out late last week. Sixth grade students will receive their schedules at orientation on Tuesday. All schedules are live in PowerSchool as well. We do our best to get schedules right on the first try and we try to honor all of students’ schedule requests. If students would like to request a schedule change, they can complete the appropriate form for their grade level. We will do our best to accommodate all schedule change requests but it’s not always possible.
Students and families are invited to participate in a no host open house on Thursday. Our building will be open to families and students from 3:30-6:00 so students can put things in their lockers and find their classes. There will not be any tour guides or teachers available at this time. It is simply a time for students to drop off materials and become comfortable in our building. Students are not required to come to the no host open house, it's just there as an option for those who would like to take advantage of it. Due to the large amount of preparation that is happening to prepare for the first day, students and families can only walk our building during the no host open house.
Our week will be filled with professional development, last minute maintenance, activities, and general preparation as we count down to the first day. All of our staff is excited for our students to return and get the school year started. We are thankful that you have entrusted us with your student and we look forward to working alongside in support of their learning. Make it a great week!
