MISSION: IGNITING A PASSION FOR LEARNING
Message from the Principal
Dear Families,
We are officially halfway through the school year and have completed our mid-year parent/teacher conferences. Thank you to all those that came to meet with teachers. Please remember you can always reach out if you have concerns. We are here to help!
Lost and Found:
The lost and found continues to grow. Once a month we place everything on the grand staircase so students can easily see all of the items. We leave the items out for about a week before collecting everything and donating it. Please encourage your child to check the lost and found regularly and take their items.
Helping your child grow:
How many times have you heard someone say, "It's okay I was never good at math either." It can be easy to make these comments thinking we are making our children feel better and that they are not alone. What if there was a better way to respond? Approaching academic struggles with a growth mindset can make a big difference. Many of you learned about growth mindset when your children were in elementary school, it is still relevant for your middle schooler! Please consider reading this article to support a growth mindset with your child.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Skelton

Celebrations
Student Services Updates
Guidance lessons in December focused on Kindness and how our actions and words can have long-lasting effects. Students drew their handprints, cut them out, and decorated them to hang on the Kindness Tree which is located in the cafeteria. Each hand represents their commitment to spreading kindness throughout the school.
This month our guidance lessons will focus on stress management and positive coping strategies to help students deal with stressful situations.
The 6th-grade “Pathway to Success'' parent/student conferences are wrapping up this month. Thank you to those parents who were able to come in to talk about their child’s transition.
