| Weekly News and Updates for the Week of December 16, 2019 |
Each week through this year we will recognize several of our students through our "Warrior of the Week" award. Students receive this award for displaying effort that goes above-and-beyond our expectations - reflecting their drive to achieve personal and academic growth.
This week's Warriors of the Week are:
Tyler Z.
Tyler is always working hard in his classes and does more than willing to help a peer. He is always caught up on his work and takes pride in everything he does. Tyler's humor and positivity bring joy to those around him. Keep up the great work Tyler!
Lily H.
Lily has really come into her own during the 2nd quarter! In math Lily is consistently giving her best in class. She does a great job of completing her work outside of the classroom. Her checkpoints and homework are done on time and with quality effort. Lily is excited about Design & Modeling class - she enjoys designing and creating, sharing ideas with the class, and working with her design team. In language arts class, Lily writes phenomenal stories, and comes to class prepared and ready to work. You will never see her without a smile on her face! Lily is always going above and beyond what is expected! She is excelling in orchestra and developing into a great leader in the viola section and taking on leadership responsibilities in mentoring. As one can see, Lily is a great asset to any group she is working with. Lily, we are very proud of you and are looking forward to seeing you succeed the rest of the 7th grade year!
Maya C.
Maya is a very kind, polite, and hard-working student that is an absolute pleasure to have in class. She works wonderfully both independently and with others. Maya is mature beyond her years and always completes her work in a timely manner. Keep up the great work!

Summit Personalized Learning Platform (PLP)
|
|
As educators and parents, we know students learn and grow the most when they encounter challenges. Students are permitted to retake tests (content assessments) so they learn from their mistakes. If a student struggles to pass an assessment after a few attempts, their teacher will intervene and help them master the content. Learning science shows that a large percentage of learning happens in letting students persist through struggles and challenges, and that's why struggling in the safe environment at school and learning those lifelong habits is going to set our students up for success long after they've left school.
Don't forget...we still have copies of
Prepared
available. Please contact the MS office to inquire about getting your copy!
|
| The High/Middle School Mentoring Classes are participating in a Food Drive until December 18th. Please bring in canned (tuna, soup, vegetables) or boxed food for the Fairview Food Bank. The mentoring class with the most donated food will receive a pizza party. |
We have a couple students looking for donations to the Cleveland APL. If you can, please drop off any of the following items to the MS office by Friday 12/20: dog treats, dog/cat collars, bleach, Dixie cups, peanut butter, Ziplock bags, craft sticks, and much more that can be found on their wishlist on the
APL website
. All items will be hand-delivered to the APL by the students and their families over break.

Happy Holidays Fairview Park Families!
I hope things are moving along smoothly for everyone during these busy times!
This coming week should be a week of
communicating.
Have your child show you their platform - if you see all green...YEAH! If you see any yellow or red, have your child send an email to that teacher (and cc you) asking "What do I need to do to make mine green?" When you both hear back from the teacher, sit down with your child and make a plan for when the work will be done. Sooner is always better than later, plus it would be great to be done with the work and start a NEW YEAR all caught up!
