Events for the next two weeks

Red Ribbon Week DressUp Days

Red Ribbon Week is a time to remind students and families about the importance of making healthy, safe choices and staying drug-free. It encourages us to say no to drugs, including vaping, and to make choices that support a healthy future. Together, we can build a safer, healthier school and community!

The NED Show

Never give up ~ Encourage others ~ Do your best!

For over 25 years, we’ve used yo-yo tricks in our school performances. This bit of old-fashioned fun helps us be entertaining and unforgettable in the mind of a child as we share how “NED” learns to never give up, encourage others and do his best.

We also share that while yo-yoing is cool and simple, it’s not always easy. Everyone who learns to yo will make mistakes along the way. Students are told that if they try yo-yoing, it’s important to learn from mistakes and never give up. Teachers and parents often see children practice persistence and find great fulfillment in doing their personal best as they learn to yo with NED. Best of all, this “NED mindset” is infinitely transferable to school subjects!

Yo-yo's for you!

And, what is super-cool is that yo-yo's will be available for sale through November 10.

Protective Covers for Chromebooks

All student-issued Chromebooks include a protective cover that is required as part of the Chromebook insurance plan. Removing the cover voids the insurance, and families may be responsible for repair or replacement costs if damage occurs while it is removed.

Please remind your student to keep the protective cover on at all times to help protect the device and support learning.
