Greetings,

I have had a busy week. As I said before, I have been talking about self-control this month. I have been sharing Clark the Shark with the younger grades and My Mouth is a Volcano with fourth graders and a video explaining how self control affects our bodies and minds in 5th and 6th grades. It is so much fun to share the books and I try to be very animated so they remember it. I hope to find more engaging, fun things to do with the oldest students. They continue to be a challenge for me, but I am up for the challenge! If you would like any resources related to self control for the students at home, please let me know. 

Along with my classroom lessons, I am starting a small group, and seeing students individually. I hope to start more small groups and you may receive an email regarding your student participating. Please let me know if you have any specific issues or concerns you would like me to talk with your student about. 

I am pleased to say that this school year, I have an intern working alongside me. Her name is Susanne Teague and she is a student with the University of Denver. She has a long history in the field of education as a Math teacher, curriculum instructor/coordinator and coaching other teachers in teaching Math. She is working with our Middle/High school students and teachers as a Math Interventionist along with her internship with me. She has jumped in with both feet in both capacities and is a wonderful addition to our Pride. 

Another busy part of my week was starting my coaching of my Girls on the Run team. The girls and I are going to have so much fun together. I just hope it cools off sooner than later.

Hugs,

Mrs. Carr

Hello PRIDE!!!

Thank you for a great week. Please continue to support your student and teachers by making sure that your student is completing work. If you need assistance with Powerschool, please reach out to your student's teachers for assistance. You should be receiving information regarding parent conferences to be held between October 7- October 14, 2022. This is a great way to know exactly what your student's strengths and needs are. Again, thank you for trusting us with your students and please reach out with any questions or concerns.

Warmly,

Christy Dempsey

Good Evening Everyone!

It was so much fun celebrating spirit week with all of your kiddos. It is encouraging to see school spirit throughout our student body to support our athletes. I hope that we always unite over the excellence of our school and strive to become the best versions of ourselves each and every day. When we work on being our best selves, we then come together to make a great group! Keep being awesome guys.

Things to Know:

• 9th Graders, please make sure that you are attending class. When one begins taking high school credit courses, there are attendance requirements for passing the course. Therefore, students must not acquire more than 5 unexcused absences. In the case that a student receives more than this, they will have to attend attendance recovery outside of school to make up the time.

• 7th, 8th, and 9th graders, please mark your calendars for make up picture day on October 21st!

Hello PRIDE,

We had a very good spirit week at our York Tech Campus, thank you to those students and teachers that helped make it a fun week. We are about two weeks away from the end of the grading period. Please make sure your student is keeping up with their studies. I encourage you to have your student review what they did in class on a daily basis. This will help them understand the material and may lead them to questions they didn’t realize they had. Also, attendance is very important when it comes to your students academic success. If a student has more than five absences they must make up seat time, this is a state requirement. We will send letters home regarding our make-up school when a student gets to the point of it being necessary. In the meantime, please monitor your child’s attendance and contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Please continue to encourage your students to take advantage of opportunities that are being made available to them on campus. In addition to our newsletter you can see what is being offered on the Padlet.

Seniors will have their first Senior Class Meeting on Monday, October 3 at 12:15 PM in the D Building. At 12:45, our representative from Jostens will arrive to share information about graduation, cap and gown ordering, and more! Parents do not need to attend this meeting. Cap and Gown information will come home with students.

Junior IGP Meetings

Juniors! Over the next two weeks (Sept. 27- Oct. 5) Mrs. Born will be holding virtual IGP meetings. Juniors and their parents/guardians are asked to attend these meetings so we can check in about graduation progress, discuss the Spring semester, and answer any questions about post-graduate plans. If you haven't already, please sign up for an IGP timeslot here.
