Dear Capital Families,

As the season of gratitude is upon us, we want to take a moment to say thank you for the incredible students you trust us to prepare for college and career. Our students constantly impress us with their display of our Eagle PRIDE values in our school and community! Many thanks to all of you for allowing us the privilege of educating them on a daily basis.

We also want to take a moment to update you on our SMART Goals for the school year. Every year we evaluate achievement data, feedback from students and parents (please see the parent survey below for this year) and surveys of our staffulty to determine our goals for the year. Our school has selected three areas which we have determined will help us meet our goal of meeting the learning needs of our students. The three areas we will develop, monitor and assess this year are in the areas of deepening our academic vocabulary to increase level of achievement in all content areas, implementing a system of focused note taking to assist students in retaining learning and developing goal setting strategies school wide. Throughout the year our staffulty will utilize PLC time for professional development and reflection on the implementation and success of the goals in our daily practice. We will update you periodically on our progress.

Again, thank you for your engagement in our outstanding school. We feel honored and blessed to be a part of our students journey towards being college and career ready for their lives beyond high school.

Go Eagles!

Sandy Winters

I was born and raised on the east coast but Boise feels like home! Everyone here at Capital High School has been so welcoming to me. Prior to moving to Boise in July, I taught at the elementary level in Loudoun County, Virginia. I have a BA in Early Childhood Education and a Master's degree in ELL. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the amazing students and staff at Capital!

My name is Hilary Jacobs and I am excited to be supporting students as a part-time ELL tutor at Capital. I grew up in Bend, Oregon and graduated from the University of Oregon (go ducks) with a Bachelor’s in Political Science and minor in English. I spent my post-undergrad years engaging in advocacy work in New Orleans and teaching ESL in Cancun, Mexico. I recently moved to Boise and I’m currently pursuing my Master’s of Social Work at Northwest Nazarene University. I’m thoroughly enjoying exploring this beautiful city and the surrounding trail systems and I’m looking forward to getting to know the Capital family this year!

Hi, my name is Bailey Germann (sounds like Grrrman) I grew up in the small Colorado town of Steamboat Springs. Most people know it for the skiing but my chosen winter sport was hockey, which I still play today. One of the best things I have ever done in my life was studying abroad in college. My state-side school, Colorado State University, offered an exchange with the University of Tasmania in Hobart Australia so that is where I decided to go! Not only was it an amazing experience academically but I also made some life-long friends as well as met my husband while there. I am a #dogmom to a black lab named Bear and my husband Nathan is a hydro mechanical engineer. I am so happy to be part of the Capital Team!

'Tis the Season: Watch for Winter Blues

To staff and students, the Counseling Office would like to remind you to watch for signs of sadness and depression during the winter. Many people struggle with days that are darker where we spend more time inside. Here are some helpful hints that we found online...

Common signs of depression include:

• Being in a depressed or sad mood most of the day nearly every day (in children, it may look more like anger or irritation) for at least two weeks
• Loss of interest in activities you typically enjoy
• Weight loss or weight gain
• Sleep problems (either too much or too little)
• An inability to focus or concentrate

Steps that can help out:

• Get out of bed each day and get dressed first thing, including fixing your hair and make-up
• Have an activity to do outside your home each day, like going to the store
• Call on a support system of people—your friends, family or church members—who can help you stay involved and active
• Eat healthy foods and avoid alcohol, which is a depressant
