8th Grade Clap Out!
Parents/Guardians and family members of our 8th graders are invited to help us celebrate our 8th graders as they leave the Middle School for the last time on the last day of school, Friday, May 22nd! Family members can line up outside down the sidewalk in front of the school around 11:45 AM (look for the tent provided by the Parent Club!). Feel free to bring noise makers and bubbles, but no confetti or silly string, please! 8th graders will also receive a gift from the Parent Club as they walk outside.

Second Step
What are we learning this week?
5th Grade - Unit 3: Problem Solving
Lesson 18 - Making a Plan
Why This Lesson Matters: Planning is a critical part of the development of students’ executive functioning. To help students build planning skills, this lesson introduces problems that require more complicated solutions. The ability to think through and plan out a good approach to handling a challenge helps students cope with interpersonal problems. In addition, planning skills are important tools for coping with complicated academic challenges. As students mature, more complex academic tasks will often require them to be able to make a plan. The planning model students learn in this lesson can also be applied effectively in academic contexts.
6th & 7th Grades - No More Lessons! :)
8th Grade - Unit 4: Managing Relationships & Social Conflict
Lesson 27 - High School Challenges
In this week’s lesson, your child will think ahead to some of the challenges they might face when starting high school and identify people they can go to for help.
Try this at home: Ask your child about something that makes them nervous about starting high school. Share one thing you were nervous about when you first started high school, but that got better over time.
