JUST A REMINDER and CHANGE due to heat

I wanted to send an update for our field trip next week.

TUESDAY 9/5 Juniors and Seniors will be attending Lorado Taft

WEDNESDAY 9/6 Freshman and Sophomores will be attending Lorado Taft

CHANGE: Due to the heat you can wear shorts, I removed the deep woods portion where pants are required. We will be outside participating in the team's course but will have access and some work in the air conditioned classrooms.

SUGGESTED: Bring a water bottle, there will be bottle filling allowed and encouraged. Sunscreen, bug spray, a change of socks or shoes for the bus ride back, a backpack to put it all in. The school will be providing a sack lunch, but the students may bring snacks for the bus and a lunch to eat on top of the sack lunch.

REQUIRED: Closed toed shoes

PLAN FOR BOTH DAYS:

Tuesday- After the bell rings at 8:00 a.m....

ALL Seniors and Juniors will meet the teachers by the Raider Head doors for attendance and loading the bus.

ALL Freshman and Sophomores will meet the teachers in the NEW Gym for attendance and separation for the academic day at school.

Wednesday- After the bell rings at 8:00 a.m....

Panorama will be starting on 9/5/23. You will complete your survey in your classroom. Make sure you are honest, so we can help you as much as possible. The sample email is below:

Your school is participating in a program to look at social-emotional learning (SEL) in students. A critical part of this program is understanding your student perspective.

Please don't share this email or your responses with others so that all students feel comfortable sharing their own feedback. In some cases, your teachers and school leaders will be able to see your responses, which will not affect your class grades. Please respond honestly—there are no right or wrong answers!

You may use a computer, tablet, or smartphone to access the survey. To provide your school with feedback, please click your unique access link below.
We (Panorama Education) are managing this process to ensure security. Please take your time to give honest and thoughtful answers, which will be shared with your teachers

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.

Coffee with the Principal:

Coffee Conversations: Click the picture to the right to see all of the monthly topics.

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.
