IB Learners understand and appreciate their own cultures and personal histories, and are open to the perspectives, values and traditions of other individuals and communities. They are accustomed to seeking and evaluating a range of points of view, and are willing to grow from the experience.

IB students have a deep understanding of various cultures and views, bringing an appreciation of new views to both their academic study and their involvement in local and wider communities. Their international mindedness complements the missions of the best tertiary institutions.

As we prepare for another successful semester, we want to remind OUR students that we are RESPECTFUL, RESPONSIBLE, ROLE MODELS.

Cell Phone Purple Pouch

Also, we will continue our "Purple Pouch" system for cell phones. Phones and other electronic devices should be off and in bookbags. Students not following this expectation will put their phones in a purple pouch until dismissal.

iReady Assessments

Students will take their iReady assessment on Monday, 1/9 (Math) and Tuesday, 1/10 (Reading). These assessments will measure students' growth and will help teachers better prepare to meet the needs of their students.

Let's make this semester a great one!
