Mid-level students grades 6-9, only have 35 days left in trimester two.

Online and TPP students only have 36 days left in trimester two.

It is very important to attend everyday as missing school can lead to falling behind. Even a few days can make it harder to catch up. Also, school is a place for social interactions, and staying engaged with classmates and teachers can help you feel connected and prepared for the break.

We have started to honor students through our Compass Spotlight! Compass Spotlight recognizes students for their great attendance, full engagement, and continued efforts to build positive relationships.

The most recent spotlight student was Zoey F! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Zoey received the Compass Spotlight Student Award in recognition of their great attendance, full engagement, and continued efforts to build positive relationships. Zoey consistently demonstrates an exceptional level of commitment to their responsibilities, and their actions create a positive and welcoming environment for everyone around them.

1. Great Attendance: Zoey has started to consistently show up with punctuality and reliability.

2. Fully Engaged: Zoey remains fully engaged at all times. Their enthusiasm and focus motivate others to stay on task and actively participate.

3. Building Positive Relationships: Zoey excels at forming and maintaining positive relationships with peers, teachers, and staff alike.

Students are required to turn in two forms in order to attend this fieldtrip; our permission slip and the waiver form from Elm Creek. Both forms will be coming home with your student and they will need to be signed, and returned to school. All forms MUST be turned in by 1/27, no late forms will be accepted.

The permission slip and waiver form will be sent home with students next week as well.

Compass Programs Electronic Device Policy

Please review this policy with your student. We have had an increase in personal technology use issues during the school day. The expectations were gone over with all students at the beginning of this trimester.

Personal Electronic devices and cell phones are not needed from 7:30 am - 2:45 pm

• Devices should not be seen or heard

• If a communication need arises, ask a staff member to use a phone

• Violations of the policy may result in the device being turned into the office

• Repeated violations will require a parent/guardian meeting

Compass Programs are committed to maintaining a safe and engaging learning environment.

Winter gear:

Did you know Compass has winter gear onsite available for students? If your student is in need, have your student talk to one of the Compass social workers.

If you have any needs or barriers to accessing resources to provide for your family, please contact one of our Social Workers for further support options.
