Hello Charette Families and Students!

We are so proud of the energy, creativity, and dedication our students show every day. From learning new skills in nutrition class to expressing themselves on dress down day, it’s clear that Charette is a place where students can grow, explore, and shine. As we continue through the school year, it’s important to pause and recognize the power of focus and intentional effort. Just like an athlete watches every play or a musician listens to every note, our students shine when they give their full attention to what matters most. In a world full of distractions, learning to prioritize is a skill that pays off in school—and in life.

We encourage our students to ask themselves: What is most important this week, and how can I give it my best? Focusing on the main goals—learning, growing, and supporting one another—will help them make real progress while avoiding burnout.

Let’s keep our energy, attention, and heart on the things that matter, and make this week one full of growth and Charette pride!

With gratitude and Charette vibes,
Mrs. Martin & Dr. Lyons😎

COUNSELING AS A SUCCESS TOOL

Clinical counseling is available for Charette students through Dr. Rosalino. Sessions happen during the school day and are confidential, supportive, and designed to help students navigate challenges, build coping skills, and stay on track academically and emotionally. If you’d like your student to participate, let Ms. Joharlen or Ms. Santa know to connect with Dr. Rosalino and get started.

WINGSPANS INFORMATION

Wingspans is a resource Charette began using a few years ago. It helps students discover interests and strengths, explore colleges and careers, and create an individualized career and academic plan that best reflects their post-secondary goals. It offers a wide variety of resources to students and is user-friendly!

Families can use School Connects to:

• Message teachers and support staff directly

School Connects is a simple way to maintain communication with your student’s educators and stay connected to the Charette community.
