Welcome back! I hope you feel renewed and ready to take on the last quarter of the school year. We will start Monday morning with Camp SPARTA in order to re-establish consistency with expectations, routines, and systems for our last 8 weeks!

Camp SPARTA

Here are the Slides for Monday morning. All Advisory teachers should go over slides 1-14 during AM Activity Schedule. It's our goal to hype students up for academic and behavior effort! Use the remaining effort activities and RISE reminders as needed with your Advisory this quarter.
