We’ve completed our second week of the new school year and learning, new routines, and activities are in full swing! What a great group of kids we have this year along with many new and excited staff members.

Each day, students have 30 minutes of “Advisory” class which acts as a homeroom. Students have a variety of grade appropriate lessons and activities that revolve around Social Emotional Learning. They will cover appropriate behavior using electronics, no bullying, careers and more.

This year, our main theme throughout the school is Building Resilience. Each month we will highlight a positive character trait that help us build resilience. September’s trait is RESPECT! We use that term a lot but do kids really understand what that means and what it looks like?? Learning more about respect and ways to show respect will be covered throughout the month through lessons and activities in Advisory. Follow the link below for some great ideas on how to teach/reinforce the respectful mindset which ultimately leads to better relationships and positive self-esteem.
