Interested in joining the Coding Club?
Coding is the new literacy. Currently there are a low percentage of students graduating with Computer Science degrees and there is a demand for these skills in the workplace. Studies are telling us that introducing coding at an early age can facilitate early interest. In addition, it can exercise multiple areas of the brain related to language processing, working memory, and attention. Students are enabled to develop sense of creativity, self expression, and critical thinking skills.

New this year!! Room Parent Procedure:
This year teachers will be responsible for picking their own room parents, instead of the HSA assigning them. A room parent's role is to work closely with the classroom teacher and help with their needs, which makes it important that the teacher and room parent have a good working relationship. Each class is different and has different needs so it is best for the teacher to assign the role of room parent based on their individual needs.
*Reminder all school Volunteers need to be Virtus Trained*
