Quantum Parent Bulletin #21

To support our vision of inspiring confident leaders who impact the community through empathy, creativity, and innovation, we are excited to announce that we have begun a school-wide implementation of a program called Thrively. Thrively is a personalized learning platform designed to help students discover their "inner genius" by focusing on what they do best rather than where they struggle. Key aspects of the program include:

Asset-Based Learning: Shifts the conversation from "what is wrong" to "what is strong."
Holistic Growth: Includes Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons and well-being check-ins that address the emotional complexity of the middle school years.
Future Readiness: Encourages early career exploration by matching a student's natural strengths to professional aspirations.
Actionable Insights: Provides parents with a shared language to support their child's unique learning style and personality at home.

During the month of January, our students are taking a research-backed Strengths Assessment which identifies each child's unique talents across 23 different factors such as resilience, leadership, and creative thinking. From there, they will have access to a wide variety of videos, lessons, and activities to explore and connect their personal interests to potential career paths and real-world skills.

We'll highlight more about this amazing program throughout the year, including ways parents can access content and resources to further conversations about your child's strengths at home. In the meantime, visit www.thrively.com for more information about this amazing program.
