Prom Walk Pictures are below. Thank you to the Junior Class parents for all of your hard work setting up Prom Walk. It looked great! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zHcnRHwBMwI6pIjxUvt9c6yg5z2dmpEf?usp=sharing
I came across this and thought I would share:
It's May, and that means people everywhere are tired.
Teachers are tired.
Bus drivers are tired.
School staff members are tired.
Coaches are tired.
Parents are tired.
All the people are tired. Except kids.
Kids are not tired. They are wired and excited and full of energy.
Because May.
For a child, May is everything awesome. Field day, field trips, class programs, end-of-the-year parties and more.
It's life amplified for the little guys. Every day leading up to the last day of school carries the promise of something fun and spectacular, culminating with the most awesome stretch of pure childhood bliss - summer vacation.
How can they not be excited?
And how can we not be tired?
I see you over there, parents, rubbing your eyes and staring into space. I want to walk over and give you a hug. No, I want to give you a pillow and a blanket. That's more like it. I want to say, "Take a nap. It's okay. Rest for a moment. I know it's May, but May can wait for a 20 minute nap."
I see you over there, teacher, with your kids a little more rambunctious than usual. Trying to finish out the year and also make it fun and memorable, while juggling your own lives and schedules and kids and all the things. The past couple of years haven’t been easy. And you have stayed the course. And now it’s May, and I would have to imagine you are an extra kind of tired right now.
Because May.
So, let's be sure to give each other lots of grace over the next few weeks.
If someone misses a SignUpGenius - that's okay. Or maybe they sign up for something and then forget to bring it - that's okay, too.
Inboxes are being flooded. Calendars are being filled. Bank accounts are being wiped clean because we need to send a new Venmo every five minutes. And it's hard to keep it all straight right now.
Because May.
When we see people walking around the grocery with a glazed, weary look in their eyes going up and down the same aisle repeatedly, let's give them a smile.
When we see the frantic parents running into the classroom five minutes late, let's give them a smile.
When we see the kids open their lunchboxes and there is not a sandwich to be found, but instead all the leftover scraps from the pantry, plus a bunch of Easter candy, let's give them a smile. And when we see their mom or dad next time, let's give them a smile, too.
When we see the teacher or the lunch lady or the bus driver or the school secretary or the crossing guard or anyone working at the school for that matter, most definitely let's give them a smile.
When we see the coaches on the ball diamond who just coached a double-header because April showers bring lots of rainouts, let's give them a smile.
When we see our coworkers falling asleep at their desks, or in the middle of a meeting, let's let them sleep for a minute. And when they wake up, let's give them a smile.
Because May.
And when someone asks how you're doing - I think it's completely acceptable to just answer with, "May. I'm doing May."
And if they are doing May, they will totally get it.
And they will most definitely give you a smile.
And when we see the teachers walking down the hall with their classes behind them - kids jumping up and down, trying so very hard to stay in line, but barely making it - let’s remember how hard those teachers have worked this year. And be sure to give them a thank you and a smile and let them know how very much they are appreciated because this time of year is a lot.
And we are grateful
And we are tired.
And we are feeling a lot of feels.
And we need a lot of grace.
Because May.

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.

Lexia for 6th - 8th Grade
The students are doing great! Our school is doing above level work and mastering skills at an extremely quick rate. This program is used to "fill gaps" in the students learning. Every Monday they are rewarded for meeting their usage, and "leveling" up. Ask your child how they are doing. For candy we are going to switch to units gained. The goal is 20 units a week for all students that have RtI and 5 units a week for students that do not have RtI.
Coffee with the Principal:
Coffee Conversations https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gei0g1f_nCaxi28YZQfR77UiuzgB9EZp5KOdEfrqTwk/edit?usp=sharing
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.
May 19, 2023
“Almost Summer, now what?”- During this meeting we will discuss what Earlville has for the Summer as well as how to plan for the Fall semester.
