We had a successful day of professional development ahead of our Fall Break! Our teachers attended several sessions to improve their skills and workflow. They focused on behavior management, newsletter building, and mental health, along with additional training on the core subjects. We also practiced phrasing and categorizing questions based on their depth of knowledge.
Our final Mindful Moment to end off the quarter! This week our students show how to do the bunny and ocean wave breathing techniques! We also introduce a self control challenge to help you stay calm throughout the week, even while we're not in school. Watch here: https://youtu.be/CGFBq_d2qvA

Our administrators recently met with district legal counsel to review new policies and regulations. Staying informed and understanding the law is key to preventing potential issues and ensuring compliance. Our lawyers provided detailed explanations and created space for questions, promoting a thorough understanding. This knowledge is essential for effectively implementing new rules across our schools.
We love when our Tiger Family shows their school spirit and creativity during Homecoming! Several of our students and teachers at the middle and high schools dressed up as their favorite characters for Character Day. From superheroes to television icons, their costumes were full of personality! Can you guess who they’re representing?
