Youth Equipped to Suceed - Next Up Program
Our school has partnered with Youth Equipped to Succeed (YES) to provide information on relationships and sexual health. Through these programs, students are provided research-based information on how to achieve optimal health and are encouraged to focus on their dreams and goals.
The student program will be presented on: March 8, 2024
Youth Equipped to Succeed believes strongly in connecting students to positive messages and healthy relationships that will help them navigate cultural pressures. Through their programming, students of all ages, backgrounds and circumstances are equipped with the knowledge, attitudes and skills they need in order to achieve more healthy and successful futures.

Growing value and vision in youth by combating isolation and imparting hope

Important Information To Help Your Student At Home!
You may have noticed that your student does not have daily homework. However your student is responsible for bringing a fact grid to Math class every day! The only time a student should have homework is to make-up missed work from an absence or work that was not completed in class. Here are some suggestions if you want your student to have extra practice.
- Daily Fact Grid (multiplication chart 1-12 & 25's)
- Read daily for at least 20 minutes
- Practice fact fluency (multiplication & division)
- Log in to ClassLink and work on Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies in Progress Learning (this used to be Education Galaxy), or check out Sora, our online digital library.
CHECK SKYWARD!!!
We are teaching our kiddos to be self reliant so that when they transition to 6th grade they will know how to find their grades, missing assignments, messages, and more. This should be checked at least twice a week, if not daily (students). This helps students stay on track and they can see instantly if there is something they need to fix, submit, or talk to the teacher about.
Make-up missed work from an absence or work that was not completed in class will be considered homework. If your student was absent they have the number of days they were out to return missed work. For example, if your student was sick and missed two days of school, they have two days to complete the work they missed while they were out. It is the students responsibility to ask for makeup work.
