Secondary School Weekly Highlights and Updates

Middle School Friendship Games

Our Middle School students participated in the Friendship Games in Santa Cruz last week, competing in volleyball, cheer, and soccer. It was an incredible display of camaraderie, friendship, and dedication from our student-athletes. We took the teleférico to the airport to avoid the blockades, and thanks to the athletic director's careful organization, everything went very smoothly. Thank you to all our parents who came out to cheer our Cougars on!

  

Academic Probation Letters

Families of students who meet the criteria for academic probation have received letters outlining the areas in need of attention. This is a supportive measure to ensure we are doing everything we can to help foster student success. Please do not hesitate to reach out to teachers directly to schedule meetings, and note that participation during Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences for students who are on probation is expected. Conferences will take place either in person or online on Friday, November 8th, and for a few teachers, on Wednesday, November 13th. More information will be provided later this week. 

Pathways for Prevention Committee

The committee held two productive meetings last week and has scheduled an invitational online session with Eduardo Torres for our 11th and 12th graders on Friday, November 1st. Please watch for future communication from this committee regarding community agreements and round table discussions with parents and students. 

Grade 11 and 12 CWW Excursion & Local Experience 2.0

Mark your calendars! From November 4 through November 8, our Grade 11 and 12 students will participate in this exciting week of learning, either by traveling to Madidi or serving as an Elementary Intern. 

Halloween Fair

Don’t forget! Our Halloween Fair will be on Friday, November 1, from 5:30 to 9:00 PM. It promises to be a fun evening for the whole community.

Wishing everyone a wonderful week ahead!

Lo más destacado y las actualizaciones semanales de la escuela secundaria

Juegos de la Amistad de la escuela secundaria

La semana pasada, nuestros estudiantes de la escuela secundaria participaron en los Juegos de la Amistad en Santa Cruz, compitiendo en voleibol, porristas y fútbol. Fue una increíble muestra de camaradería, amistad y dedicación de nuestros estudiantes atletas. Tomamos el teleférico hasta el aeropuerto para evitar los bloqueos y, gracias a la cuidadosa organización del director deportivo, todo salió muy bien. ¡Gracias a todos nuestros padres que vinieron a animar a nuestros Cougars!

Cartas de libertad condicional académica

Las familias de los estudiantes que cumplen con los criterios de libertad condicional académica han recibido cartas que describen las áreas que necesitan atención. Esta es una medida de apoyo para garantizar que estamos haciendo todo lo posible para ayudar a fomentar el éxito de los estudiantes. No dude en comunicarse directamente con los maestros para programar reuniones y tenga en cuenta que se espera la participación durante las conferencias de padres, maestros y estudiantes para los estudiantes que están en libertad condicional. Las conferencias se llevarán a cabo en persona o en línea el viernes 8 de noviembre y, para algunos maestros, el miércoles 13 de noviembre. Se brindará más información más adelante esta semana.

Comité de Pathways for Prevention

El comité celebró dos reuniones productivas la semana pasada y programó una sesión en línea por invitación con Eduardo Torres para nuestros estudiantes de 11.º y 12.º grado el viernes 1 de noviembre. Esté atento a las futuras comunicaciones de este comité sobre los acuerdos comunitarios y las mesas redondas con padres y estudiantes.

Excursión CWW y experiencia local 2.0 de 11.º y 12.º grado

¡Marque sus calendarios! Del 4 al 8 de noviembre, nuestros estudiantes de 11.º y 12.º grado participarán en esta emocionante semana de aprendizaje, ya sea viajando a Madidi o trabajando como pasantes de primaria.

Feria de Halloween

¡No lo olvide! Nuestra Feria de Halloween será el viernes 1 de noviembre, de 5:30 a 9:00 p. m. Promete ser una noche divertida para toda la comunidad.

¡Les deseo a todos una maravillosa semana por delante!
