Keep Connected Family Engagement Partnership with Search Institute and Change Inc.:

As you might be aware, Hidden River has partnered with Search Institute and Change Inc. to offer the Keep Connected program to students and their families this year. Keep Connected offers resources to families, including tips, ideas, activities and learning opportunities to support strong family relationships.

Family Talk Starters - This Week’s Focus: Hold each other accountable when you commit to something. This is a great way to CHALLENGE GROWTH in your family relationships.

When you have a few minutes, ask other family members a question or two. Enjoy the conversation!

• What are ways you hold each other accountable in your family? How do these things make family life better (or worse)?
• What can you do when you make a commitment that you realize you really can’t keep?
• What is a commitment you are currently struggling to keep? How might others in your family help you figure out how to deal with it responsibly?

We hope you had a restful and enjoyable break, and that you are ready to dive into all the wonderful opportunities this new year brings. Check out some of our 2024 highlights below (8th grade field trip to the movie theater, 7th grade field trip to Grand Slam, 6th grade field trip to Cheap Skate, AVID college and career field trip, and EDL family night)!

EDL Family Night was a so much fun! Students enjoyed sharing what they do afterschool with their families! We hope to see you again at the spring EDL family night!
