Getting Ready for a BRAVE New Year! 🥳
Rest is not a reward for hard work. We must rest so that we can do the hard work.
Whether you're reading this as a caregiver counting down the days at home until the school year routine begins again, as a staff member beginning the August "lace up" to hop back on the educator treadmill, or navigating both spaces -- REST! We can't do it without you ♥️!
A shared, District-wide commitment you'll see this August is around creating safe and civil spaces where staff, students, and the community as a whole can thrive now and in the future. The CHAMPS structure (see below) will be visible nearly everywhere in and around our buildings. Predictable, clear, common expectations that will build student independence and BRAVE Vikings!
WHEN WILL WE FIND OUT CLASSROOM/TEACHER PLACEMENTS?!
Scratch-off post cards will be mailed out on Monday, August 7th (for our 1st-5th graders). I ask that you give the mail a chance (and the mail carrier a chance to be a hero) and wait until Friday to reach out the office if your post card does not arrive. We'll be happy to let you know who your student's teacher is -- but not until Friday the 11th!
The post cards also include information for an optional supply drop off and chance to meet their teacher on Monday, August 21st from 3:00-4:00.
Bus Route Updates
🥪 Lunchtime Updates! 🥗
NO PRE-ORDERS NEEDED for lunch this year! We will be moving to a "bin system" at AW for the 2020-2024 school year which we hope will be easier on our caregivers and students this year. More will be communicated soon!
