Scientific trial activity in 7th grade science
This week, our 7th grade scientists tackled the mystery, "Did SpongeBob Kidnap Mr. Krabs?". Our students analyzed evidence, conducted investigations, interpreted data, and built evidence-based arguments to support their conclusions. This activity strengthened our knights' critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.
Exploring our solar system scavenger hunt in 8th grade science
Our 8th grade science students took part in a solar system scavenger hunt in the media center this week. Working in teams, our knights searched for fact cards hidden throughout the media center and used the information they discovered to answer questions about the solar system. This lesson encouraged collaboration, critical thinking, and data analysis as they explored the size, distance, and unique characteristics of planets and other celestial objects.
Congrats to our Blue House who earned the September House Party
7th grade lesson: Overcoming Obstacles Unit Theme-Mindset and Goals
Summary: This week’s lesson will introduce our 7th grade knights to the If–Then Plan, a strategy for handling obstacles before they arise. They'll learn how anticipating challenges and planning a response can help them stay on track toward their goals.
At home connecter: Ask your knight to explain what an If–Then Plan is. Work together to create an If–Then Plan for a challenge they might face at home or school.
8th grade lesson: Motivation Factors 2 Unit Theme-Mindset and Goals
Summary: This week’s lesson will focus on a third factor that affects motivation—cost. Our 8th grade knights will learn about the three components of cost and how weighing these costs influences their motivation to complete a task.
At home connecter: Share a time when you had to decide whether something was worth the effort, time, or risk. Ask your knight about a time they had to weigh the costs of doing something and whether they decided to do it or not.

Honor The Castle by respecting others, modeling responsibility, and making safe choices.
Outside Food and Beverage Policy
Outside food delivery is a safety concern. We do not want to have strangers and people that we do not know coming to our buildings with delivery bags. It also is a workload issue for office personnel. Managing multiple food deliveries during lunchtime becomes an additional responsibility for our office staff.
The District works hard to provide a variety of healthy, good-tasting food in its cafeterias, and students are always free to bring their own lunch to school. We will continue to follow our past practice of making sure students receive lunch if they forget to bring one from home.
