REMINDERS AND UPDATES FROM MRS. WOODALL
Congratulations! We've made it to our first 3-day weekend! It's been so fun seeing all of our learners get involved with the various clubs on campus and the election of class officers. I cannot wait to see everyone at Blazer Bash tonight at 6:00 p.m.
Today also marks the end of our first 3-week grading period. Learners with grade questions and concerns need to address their designers directly. Being able to creatively problem-solve, self advocate, adapt and improve are all STEM habits! Speaking of, our learners will present their learning to parents on October 10th from 3:30 - 7:00 p.m. or October 14th from 7:00 - 11:00 a.m. This has previously been referred to as Student Led Conferences and as a reminder, they are requirements for STEM learners in our district. More information to come!
Letβs CELEBRATE! If you have had an experience with someone at Frontier and want to give them a βshout outβ, please send me their name and a brief explanation. We would love to make someoneβs day! My email address is michellewoodall@misdmail.org
