What a fantastic first week of the school year! The energy throughout the building was electric as we welcomed our first through eighth grade students back!
Earlier this week every student and teacher in the school participated in our school wide expectation tours. This is an opportunity for our team to begin explicitly teaching and modeling what it looks and sounds like for all students to be successful in all parts of the school throughout all of their day.
We also had a spirited pep rally to welcome everyone back and connect as an entire school community. We did some fun team building, heard from our Student Council representatives, reviewed our goals for the year, celebrated our successes to start, and talked about our responsibilities contributing to our shared community! There was also some pie :)
We look forward to building on this week’s success over the coming days, weeks, and months. As we shared with every child today during our “Welcome Back! & expectation talks” our purpose as a school is to “value the uniqueness of all and ensure the highest levels of learning.” We described this in a developmentally appropriate way to each grade level as ALL of us working together to ensure that EVERY child feels they are uniquely special, cared for, and valued, while also being supported in an ongoing journey to learn, grow, and improve.
We look forward to continuing to partner with you on living this work each day. Thank YOU for the many ways YOU contributed to this week’s strong start!
