Picture day was picture perfect last week. Every student that was here last Tuesday had their picture taken. If you didn’t order pictures in advance, that’s not a problem. Go to mylifetouch.com and log into your account, or create one using your student’s ID number, and place your order. If your student was absent on picture day, or their smile was not all they hoped it could be, retakes are on Tuesday, October 14th.
Wednesday is Constitution Day. Our Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787 laying the foundation for our democracy. This Constitution Day is also the official kick off for our recognition of the Semiquincentennial commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago on July 4th, 1776. Students will have the opportunity to learn more about the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence in I/E on Wednesday and we will be doing a variety of activities throughout the school year to commemorate the Semiquincentennial.
Scout Learning Lab (SLL) is a time after school where students get additional time and support to demonstrate their learning. It’s generally held Monday-Thursday from 3:05-4:00. Students attending SLL stay with their teachers from 3:05-3:35. If they need additional time to work and/or need to ride the late bus, they work in the west modular until around 4:15 when the late bus arrives. Students can walk or be picked up after SLL as well. As we get further into the school year, it becomes even more important that students stay current on their work. Assignments more than two weeks late will not be accepted for credit. Please monitor your student’s learning and encourage them to take advantage of SLL.
This month, we’re focusing on empathy and challenging students to make sure that everyone they interact with feels seen, heard, and valued. One way to show empathy is to, as a family, brainstorm a list of 3-5 individuals you typically encounter during the day who may not receive many notes or words of affirmation or appreciation. Consider people who make your day brighter or provide a needed service, like your mail carrier, the cashier at your local store, or a neighbor. Ask each person in your family to write a note thanking that person for “Being a Light.“ You can read more about empathy in this month’s CKH Newsletter.
Another great week is upon us with opportunities for learning, growth, and community. Thank you for your continued support and feedback. Make it a great week.
