I hope this letter finds you well. As we approach the midpoint of the school year, I would like to take this opportunity to inform you about our upcoming Parent/Teacher Conferences, which are scheduled for October 17 (3:45 - 7:00) and October 19 (3:45 - 7:00) .
Parent/Teacher Conferences are an essential part of our commitment to your child's education and overall development. These conferences provide an invaluable opportunity for you to meet with your child's teachers, discuss their progress, and gain insights into their academic journey. It is a collaborative effort between educators and parents to ensure the success of our students.
To make the conference scheduling process more convenient for you, we will be set up in the HIGH SCHOOL GYM. Mrs. Marks will be at the Gym door with your child's test scores, their snapshot, and their class schedule. All of the Junior High/ High School teachers will be set up with a table and 2 chairs for parents to sit at. You do not need to schedule an appointment, you will just walk over and have a seat to start the conference. Additionally, if you require any special accommodations or have specific concerns you would like to address during the conferences, please inform us in advance, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
Our teachers are dedicated to fostering a positive and nurturing learning environment for your child, and your active participation in these conferences is greatly appreciated. Together, we can work towards providing the best possible education and support for your child.
We look forward to welcoming you to the school during the Parent/Teacher Conferences. Your child's academic success is a shared endeavor, and your involvement is instrumental in achieving this goal.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
Sincerely,
Jenette Fruit

Move This World Family Resources
We use this in our Academy classes. We purchased the Family account if you would like to log in and explore.
Dear Families,
To support our students’ social emotional needs and mental health, we are using a video-based social emotional learning (SEL) curriculum from Move This World. I’m excited to share that you’ll be able to access this helpful curriculum at home, too!
Social emotional learning is how students learn to process and manage emotions as well as important social skills. It includes everything from goal setting to stress management, and it provides both children and adults with tools they can use to express themselves authentically and safely. SEL helps students build healthy relationships, communicate effectively, and live a meaningful life.

Legal and media conversations
Social Media can be scary
Please mark your calendars for the last Friday of every month (except holidays) for our monthly Parent Coffee Chats with the Principal. Each month we will have a guest speaker or a specific topic to discuss. These are informal meetings where you can bring your questions for the Principal in an open forum. Parent Coffee Chats will be on the last Friday of each month (unless otherwise noted) from 8:30–9:30 a.m. The Parent-Principal Chats provide parents with monthly opportunities to meet with the principal as a group to discuss topics, initiatives, and issues related to student learning at the schoolwide level. The Chats are a two-way exchange whereby families and school leaders listen, learn, solve problems, and share information with each other. Every month will have a theme that is based on the feedback from the survey.
