Thursday, August 22nd
- On Mondays last school year all periods started with a classroom circle. The circles either focused on a specific topic or helped to review/preview what the students were learning. Each class on Thursday will start with a classroom circle on a specific topic (Respect, Empathy, Prepared for Class, etc). We will continue our normal routine of starting all classes on Mondays with a classroom circle on August 26th. The goal of the classroom circle is to develop a positive classroom environment and build relationships. The circles typically last 5 minutes.
Friday, August 23rd
- 7:30a: Senior Panoramic
- 8:00a: Student Pictures
- We will also hold a Safety Drill and a Fire Drill.
