Welcome back from Spring Break! With only 8 weeks left of the school year, we want to be sure our students are best prepared to finish strong. We will be increasing our afterschool support to be able to provide opportunities to get caught up or makeup missing work. Please be sure to log onto IC to check student grades. Also, thinking ahead to summer, we have compiled some resources of local activities available. We appreciate West families so much!

6th Grade: We are starting our new unit covering Greek Mythology! This week, we will be introduced to Greek Creation Myths, gods and goddesses, and a few stories. There will be a quiz over Greek gods and goddesses on Friday, March 25th.
7th Grade: We are starting our new unit discussing the play, Romeo and Juliet! The version we are reading is the "No Fear Shakespeare" version, so students will have access to the Shakespearean English, as well as a Modern English translation. This week, students will be expected to listen to and complete a Reading Guide over the Prologue, and Act 1 Scenes 1 & 2.
8th Grade: We are continuing our analysis of the novel, Night, by Elie Wiesel. Students will be expected to read/listen to Chapters 4 and 5, and complete a Reading Guide on both of them by Friday, March 25.
Everyone:
- Reading Logs: Due each Friday! Your student gets 10 Wolf Bucks and a big water bottle sticker for bringing in their reading logs with a parent/guardian signature. Please reach out if you have any questions!
- Writing Workshop: I will be opening my classroom after school to host a "Writer's Workshop." If your student needs help with completing their English Projects, Social Studies paper, or any other writing element from class--please send them to me! I will be working one-on-one with them between 3-4.

We have been working hard to provide college resources for your family. I am excited to announce that Colorado Early College is hosting the College Funding Coach on Tuesday, March 29th from 6:00-7:15 pm for a web workshop. This event is for any family wanting to learn how to pay for college (Preschool - High School).
The College Funding Coach was founded in 2002 to help families better understand the complex strategies for paying for college and making higher education more affordable. Mark DeBord, from The College Funding Coach, is on a mission to help Colorado families pay for their children’s education. This interactive workshop, Little-Known Secrets of Paying for College, teaches parents the rules of the game when it comes to financial aid, as well as the critical strategies to help them win that game—whether by qualifying for need-based aid or by maximizing cash flow and liquidity.
This is a free educational web event. Please register by clicking HERE or on the flyer attached to this email.

Below The Surface Campaign
This awareness effort run by the Colorado Department of Human Services aims to help teens connect to and get support from Colorado Crisis Services by texting “TALK” to 38255. The line allows anyone to text 24/7 with a trained counselor on a personal, free, confidential line. Below the Surface was created by youth for youth who feel pressured to appear as if everything is fine, but just “below the surface” struggle with feelings of isolation, stress, anxiety, and depression related to studies, drugs, alcohol, and relationships. The messaging tries to reassure young adults that it’s OK to ask for help, no one dealing with a mental health or substance use challenge is alone, and regardless of how big or small the challenge is, there is a trustworthy resource to turn to. Colorado Crisis Services is recruiting youth and trusted adults to share Below the Surface in their communities. Click here to learn how to get involved in the Below the Surface youth leadership program, access assets for publishing to your social media feeds, and to order or download free campaign materials.
