“Soar to New Horizons” 2021-2022 School Theme
Monday, October 4, 2021
Dear Parents,
As you know, the final grades are next week, October 13, which is also Minimal Day. Thank you for your dedication and hard work in helping your kiddos finish this semester strong. There still is time to complete assignments.
You may notice my return and I am so thrilled to be back. I just love these kids! Since my return, I have noticed an increase of extreme makeup face paint. This is a concern. We want to partner with parents to make going to school a safe place to learn for everyone.
Please work with your children to avoid extremes that make it uncomfortable for students to learn. We will be meeting with students and parents to discuss potential solutions.
1. Jet Time:
This week’s JetTalk shares ideas about looking at our strengths and taking them to the next level. There are reflection questions in the video that are also in the canvas assignments for students. These questions invite the students to evaluate their strengths. It also invites them to reach out to you, their parents, and discuss what their strengths are. Take the time to have a great conversation with your students about what makes them awesome and what specific skills they have that they can build on and use to be their best! Feel free to watch the video and discuss it with your students. https://youtu.be/0woSLasGAPw.
As always, if you have any questions or if you would like Mr. Crandall to help with any mindset issues, feel free to reach out to him [email protected]
