My Project

My dear scholars are a vivacious group of energetic learners. They are excited about coming to school, love to share their unique interests and personalities, and are deeply invested in creating a positive community.

At our school, we are committed to Personalized Learning which supports each scholar in understanding how they learn best so that they can set appropriate short and long-term academic and socio-emotional goals.

All students are engaged with rigorous instruction in an environment that has been co-created by their interests, strengths, and needs. To help support our students towards reaching their academic and socio-emotional goals, we are asking for water bottles, snacks, and sensory fidget toys. The water bottles and snacks are for keeping students hydrated and energized throughout the day. The sensory fidget toys will be used in our Calm Corner where students go when they need a moment to practice our emotional regulation strategies. Thank you for helping us to elevate the incredible learning in our classroom!
