WEEKLY EBLAST -- 12/03/2021
GRADE "A" SCHOOL - AZ DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
REMINDER: ILP CONFERENCES CHANGE
After careful consideration, including analysis of the October ILP Conferences and feedback from both families and staff members, we have made the decision to add additional Individual Learning Plan Conferences dates to the 2021-2022 school calendar. We will now hold ILP Conferences over the course of four days each quarter, from 1 to 4 p.m. each day. All ILP days will also be early release days. 

While we know additional early release days are not ideal for some of our families, we believe these changes will provide a better quality conference experience for all our families. 

UPDATED ILP CONFERENCES/EARLY RELEASE SCHEDULE:

January 6 & 7, 2022
January 13 & 14, 2022 (NEW DATES)

March 24 & 25, 2022
March 31 & April 1, 2022 (NEW DATES) 

SIGN UP DETAILS COMING SOON!

In response to the challenges your child has faced this year, we purchased the documentary - The Upstanders. "The Upstanders is unsettling and uplifting, causing us all to examine our behavior, inspiring us to do better, be better, and stand up against victimization and cyber-bullying. The third installment in the award-winning Mental Health Trilogy, The Upstanders delves deep into cyber-bullying, showing the perspectives of those who bully, their victims, and the trauma of the bystander. Woven through this film is the very personal, first-hand account of a family’s tragic loss that inspired new legislation to turn the tide against this very real epidemic. As with all of the films in the trilogy, true stories are featured alongside the latest scientific and medical research, along with strategies to empower all communities to stand-up against bullying." Indieflix.com

*Due to the content and subject matter, this documentary will be available for parents to preview starting November 26th. The documentary interviews a family whose child lost their life to suicide as a result of extensive cyberbullying. During the 5th-6th grade Human Growth and Development our students will be viewing this documentary and will be asked to watch it again with their parents at home or confirm that parents have viewed the documentary on their own.

More information about how you can stream it in your home will be forth coming. It will only be available until December 5th.
