All students in grades 9-11 will take the NWEA MAP Reading and Math Winter Benchmark test when we return from Thanksgiving Break.

On Tuesday, Mrs. VanVeldenhuizen's class celebrated Thanksgiving together with a Thanksgiving Feast. They also hosted a Friendsgiving Dessert Party during Advisory for special guests to attend. It has been a Gobble Until You Wobble day for all!

Monday morning, Amanda Thomas, Certified Nervous System Coach and Speaker, present the R.I.S.E. Program to our students.

Reconnect with their mind and body;
Ignite their fullest potential;
Support their nervous system; and
Elevate overall performance

This program helps children and teens reduce stress and increase performance through nervous system regulation.

Students learned the impact that stress has on the nervous system and strategies to decrease stress through Box Breathing, Tapping, and other forms of movement.

The basis of the program is that through educating our youth on simple habits and balance exercises that support nervous system health, they will be equipped to reduce the mental, emotional, and physical effects of stress - FAST! This leads to greater self-awareness, clarity, and confidence to perform at their best.

We are looking forward to having her here to speak to our students!

If your child is at-risk for failing or failing a class, there is still plenty of time to turn things around! High school students earn credits based on their semester grade using this formula: 40% of their Q1 grade + 40% of their Q2 grade + 20% of their Semester Exam grade.

So, I would like to take this opportunity to share with you the academic supports we have in place for students that are struggling.

• 8th Hour Advisory Tutoring – Our National Honor Society students offer peer tutoring from during Advisory. Please contact your child's teacher, Mr. Viola, or me and we will get them signed up for tutoring!

• After School Support –There is a staff member available to help your child from 3:30-4:30 on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with homework. Please contact me if you want your child to take advantage of this support.

• HW/Lunch Detention – Students that are missing several assignments or major projects may be assigned to a homework lunch detention until they have all missing work completed and are passing all of their classes.

• High School HW Advisory Academic Support– High school students may be assigned to a homework advisory detention until they have all missing work completed and are passing all of their classes.

Please be sure to sign up for Parent Teacher Conferences! If you are unable to attend, please email your child's teacher with any concerns that you may have.
