Week of October 19, 2020- October 24, 2020

Red Ribbon Week

Our student Lighthouse team has been working diligently on plans for our Red Ribbon Week, which will kick-off on Friday with Power Up! with your red shirts and blue jeans. The student created Red Ribbon flyer will be posted on teachers' Google Classroom announcements and a copy will go out with this newsletter. In addition, you will see the activities on the Important Dates portion of this newsletter. Please take this opportunity to talk to your child about the damaging effects of drugs and how your child should proceed if they are offered drugs. Students need to know they have a support system and where they can get accurate information. If families and other informed adults don't talk to them about it, someone with a different motive will. Our Eagles' future is bright!

Game Day Jerseys

We are excited to announce that students may begin wearing their jerseys on their respective game days. All sports are encouraged to participate. If the game day falls M-Th, students must wear khakis with their jersey. Also, if the jersey has wide arm holes or has a low cut, students must wear a solid and school colored shirt underneath. For further information, please contact your child's athletic coach. Go Eagles!

Junior and Senior Meeting

The meeting will take place on October 21st from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the junior high gym. Please plan to wear masks and socially distance while at the meeting.

Education Galaxy

Last month, we took a benchmark test with NWEA to assess where students are after the events which have occurred over the past year. It is our goal to fill any gaps in understanding that students may have developed. NWEA works with Education Galaxy, which is an adaptive program that meets students where they are based on their NWEA results. As students begin working on Education Galaxy, they will move through the objectives based on their individual needs. Students are encouraged to work on Education Galaxy both in school and outside of school. Parents and students may click on the links below for information on how to use the program at home. Please contact one of your child's teachers if you have additional questions regarding use of the program.
