The following students received Positive Office Referrals this week! We are super proud of you!

(1/14) PE students are starting their jump rope unit and this will continue for the next 4 weeks. Students will learn the basics of jump roping and will be given the chance to earn their names on a different level wall. Students will be able to put their name on a 30 second, one, two, or three minute wall if they successfully jump that long with no mistakes. This is a skill of endurance. Mrs. Bishop plans to add a skill/trick wall this year. Students will earn the right to sign their name to a wall if they learn a new trick with the jump rope.

(1/14) Mrs. Marquis' third grade math students practiced their multiplication facts by using giant pop-its to show their work! Working in groups, students rolled the dice, multiplied the two numbers together, then "popped" the correct amount of bubbles to show their answer. The group members checked each others' answers.

All students and staff are required to wear a face covering, regardless of vaccination status, while indoors and on buses. This policy was enacted in an effort to limit quarantines, so students and staff may remain on campus.
