Just taking a moment to highlight Ensworth Elementary and how they incorporated the 6 Wayfinder core skills into their 3 schoolwide expectations. Pretty clever Coyotes–Aawwoooo! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Tammy and Karen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for an incredible first day and a strong start to the year! We are so grateful for the way you and your staff leaned in with positivity, flexibility, and grace as you navigated both the expected and unexpected changes that always come with a new year. Each of you set a welcoming tone that helped students feel safe, excited, and ready to learn. The energy across our schools was uplifting, and that\u2019s because of your leadership and the dedication of your teams. What a great way to launch the year\u2014as we stay rooted in purposed and steady in growth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you to Robi Cole for putting together this amazing calendar of special dates t<\/a>hroughout the year in which you can recognize the different groups that make up a staff. We’ll keep it in the important links below throughout the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, we will share any fun field trips that come our way that you can connect to EL, math, Science, etc. This week, here is a flyer for Schillings Garden<\/a> and their fall field trip experiences for our primary students. As a friendly reminder, we should not be asking families for money for field trips. You can do a fundraiser for things, but we do not charge families for an opportunity that is part of the school day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
