  • A festive atmosphere leading up to Homecoming Spirit Week (Oct. 20โ€“24)

  • Encourage your student to log in and explore the new Zone this week.

  • Remind them to check back often for new games and surprise events.

  • Celebrate their experiences โ€” ask them to share what they discovered or enjoyed most!

๐Ÿ“… Spirit Week starts October 20th with theme days, prizes, and a live Homecoming broadcast โ€” you wonโ€™t want your student to miss it!

๐Ÿ“ We Need Your Ideas for the National K12 Zones! ๐Ÿ“ We Need Your Ideas for the National K12 Zones!

Learning Coaches, you know your student best โ€” what excites them, what motivates them, and what kinds of activities spark their curiosity. Thatโ€™s why we need your help!

Weโ€™re looking to expand the National K12 Zones with a much broader scope of activities, events, and student clubs. But the best ideas will come from you โ€” the people who see what your students truly enjoy every day.

๐Ÿ’ก Maybe your student would love a new type of game or activity.
๐Ÿ’ก Maybe theyโ€™d be excited about a special event or celebration.
๐Ÿ’ก Maybe theyโ€™d join a club that we havenโ€™t even thought of yet!

๐Ÿ‘‰ Please take a few minutes to share your suggestions using the form below. Your feedback will directly shape what we build next in the K12 Zones.
