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.
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.

“Having Difficult Conversations” - During this meeting we will discuss having difficult conversations with our children and having difficult conversations from the students point of view as well.
