School Updates:
WIN Groups: Next Thursday we will launch WIN (What I Need) groups. Every day students will engage in multi-age enrichment/support small groups focused on reading or math. For example, I often teach a passion project or book club group. With all hands on deck, we can provide a laser focused, high interest, and data driven small group experience.
Outdoor Classroom: This week the fence was installed! More to come!
Birthday Books: Like last year, your child will pick out a new book to keep on his/her birthday signed by the principal. We are awaiting our book order. Once it arrives August/September birthdays can pick out their book!
What are Bright Bucks? At YGS, we practice four character cornerstones: Be Safe, be kind, be ready, be here and ready. When students are 'caught' modeling these behaviors, they can earn a bright buck. Students can cash these in monthly at our school store and/or earn a chance at our weekly prize raffle.
