We are now three weeks into the school year, and the initial "getting-to-know-you" phase is wrapping up as our learning journey gains momentum.
This year, a key focus for us is respect. Each team has worked collaboratively to define what respect means for each individual and created a shared agreement or contract. Throughout this process, both students and teachers discovered that respect can look different for everyone. Through various activities, teams have learned to appreciate and honor these differences.
I encourage you to ask your child about their respect agreements and what respect means in their classroom. It’s a great way to continue the conversation at home!
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out. My contact information is at the bottom of this page.
Thank you and have a great day.
