Monday, 2/17/25 is an Early Release Day for Students!

Can you believe that this Friday, 2/21/25, is the end of our second trimester?! Students should be checking Skyward and communicating with teachers early this week if there are any concerns about assignments/grades. Trimester 3 schedules will be ready to view by the end of this week.

Parents, we want to hear from you! Help us make our school even better by filling out our Family School Climate Survey. It’s anonymous and gives us valuable feedback to improve the school experience for our students and families. If you have children in multiple school buildings, please fill out one survey for each building.

Please complete the survey by Monday, February 24. Thank you for your time and input!

5th Grade - Unit 4: Problem-Solving

Lesson 20: Putting It All Together -In this lesson, your child will use the STEP process they learned in this unit to solve an interpersonal problem. STEP stands for S: Say the problem, T: Think of solutions, E: Explore the outcomes, and P: Pick a solution.

Try this at home: Ask your child to tell you about the STEP process and give an example of what someone would do in each part of the process.

6th Grade - Unit 3 - Thoughts, Emotions, and Decisions

Lesson 14: What Emotions Tell You -In this week’s lesson, your child will learn how to recognize the kind of information their emotions can give them in different situations and how that information can be useful.

Try this at home: Ask your child what type of emotions they felt today. Tell them the emotions you felt. What information did they get from those emotions? What did your emotions tell you?

7th Grade - Unit 3 - Thoughts, Emotions, and Decisions

Lesson 14 - Emotions Matter - In this week’s lesson, your child will learn how their brain handles strong emotions and brainstorm positive and negative decisions they might make when they feel a strong emotion.

Try this at home: Ask your child about a negative decision they recently made because they were feeling a strong emotion. Help them think about how they can turn that negative decision into a positive one if they feel that emotion again.

8th Grade - Unit 3 - Thoughts, Emotions, and Decisions

Lesson 14 - Understanding Stress and Anxiety - In this week’s lesson, your child will examine how they feel, what thoughts they have, and how their body responds when they’re stressed.

Try this at home: Ask your child what they do or feel when they’re stressed. These signs will help you notice when your child is stressed, so you can ask them how to help or support them.
