Picture Retakes - October 5, 2023

Hard to believe that it is already September. We have the expectation that all work will be completed and turned in to allow the teacher to see where each student is in their understanding of the concepts taught. If a student does not turn in an assignment, they may be requested to come in during W.I. N. time, ELT, or before or after school to work on the assignment with the teacher. This is not a punishment. This is allowing for us to support a student in their learning.

Timberwolf Success Program is also a way for students to get additional support in their classes. This after-school program is available Tuesday - Thursday from 3:05 - 4:30 to provide an opportunity for students to work and get teacher assistance on homework/ projects. Encourage your student to take advantage of this opportunity if they need additional time to complete their work or don't understand a concept and need it retaught to them. We have several teachers available to work in small groups or one-on-one with students at the Timberwolf Success Program Tuesday - Thursday 3:05 - 4:30. Students attending need to report to the Media Center by 3:05 and have a way home at 4:30.

IDs have arrived. When students receive their ID they are going to want to put it in a safe place and if they have a phone take a picture of it. They will need to show this ID to get into any school games here at MT free. Without an ID the cost is $2.

If a student did not get their picture taken on the first day of school then they will not have an ID. The ticket tackers will have a list of these students so they may enter the game.

Remember: if students are attending the game they need to report directly to the commons after school gets out. If a student goes home or leaves the building they must return with an adult who is planning on attending the game. Athletes in other sports may enter the game as soon as they finish practice. If they go home and then return, they must have an adult in attendance with them.

Thank you for helping to make sure everyone if safe.

Science Olympiad will start mid October after the cross country season is over. Closer to the start date there will be a student informational meeting where you can learn more about what Science Olympiad is, and what it will be like. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Wuthnow.

**Unlocking Adventures in Learning: Library Week Ahead!**

We had an exciting week filled with exploration, engagement, and the joy of reading! All students had the opportunity to visit our school library and dive into a world of enriching experiences this week.

**Discover Library Services and Student Groups:**

During this special library week, our students had the chance to discover the array of services our library offers. From reference materials that spark curiosity to cozy corners that encourage quiet contemplation, our library is a haven for all types of learners. Students also learned about the dynamic student groups that thrive within our library community.

**Ignite Your Imagination with Reading Programs:**

At Monticello Trails, we believe in nurturing a love for reading. Our library is proud to offer captivating reading programs that inspire students to explore diverse literary genres, embark on imaginative journeys, and build strong reading habits.

**Embark on Literary Adventures: Book Checkouts:**

What's a library visit without the magic of bringing a book home? During this library week, students had the opportunity to check out books that capture their interest. Whether it's a thrilling adventure, a heartwarming tale, or an informative guide, these borrowed treasures will transport students to new worlds.

**Stay Informed with @MTWolvesREAD:**

To stay updated on all things related to our library, we invite you to follow us on Instagram @MTWolvesREAD.
