We will host our 2nd MS Principal’s Forum on April 2nd at 9:00 AM in MPB 3. Please look for future eNews for information on the agenda based on parent questions.
Middle School Wellness classes parent information
Later this semester, middle school wellness classes will engage in our Human Growth and Development units. Ahead of these units, we will host parent information sessions on Tuesday, April 2nd at 10:30 AM (immediately following the MS Principal’s Forum).
Hosted by our grades 6/7 and grade 8 Wellness teachers, we will run separate 20-minute sessions explaining the curriculum content we teach and the timing of our lessons. We have made significant revisions to these units and wish to share the changes with interested parents. For parents who have children in more than one grade, we will immediately repeat a session right after the first session, so that they can attend both.
More information to come on this in a future eNews.
March MS Leadership Seminar Sign Up
Sign your child up for the March Student Leadership Seminar!
Our goal for this seminar is to examine the critical leadership quality of empathy. As part of this seminar, we will review the concept of empathy and we will focus on identifying behaviors that demonstrate empathy, as well as “empathy traps” leaders sometimes fall into. Students will practice empathy via fun, interactive activities facilitated in part by our high school International Honor Society students.
This seminar will take place on Saturday, March 30 from 9:00 AM-11:00 AM and you can sign your student up here. Please encourage your student to come join the fun- there will be lots of new, hands-on activities and it’s a great opportunity to make new connections. Your child will receive a certificate for participating in this activity.
