On August 14, the administrative team had the opportunity to welcome all the students by independent grade level to our initial assembly of the school year. This allowed us to introduce ourselves, discuss school policies and procedures, explain the academic goals for the year, share all the positivity occurring in the school, and build student relationships. Students are excited about this coming school year, and we look forward to seeing the growth and gains. Fostering environments centered around academic growth and social-emotional support is paramount to our administrative leadership priorities this year. The assembly successfully allowed the administrative team to talk about themselves, how they got into education, and what support they would provide for the staff, students, and families for the upcoming school year. 

Numa 

Each Numa class took a tour on the first morning of school and stopped at six different SOAR stations to review the school-wide standard operating procedures (SOPs). Then, students participated in Show Your Class Assemblies on Friday. Numa's theme this year is "Stay Classy". During the first week of school, each class worked together to decide how they planned to "Show Their Class" this year. At the assembly, each grade level showed the school their presentations. “It was a great start, and both students and staff are excited to begin our new school year,” Counselor Noreen Swenson said.

Second-grade students in Kari Lister’s class have taken the first week of school to get to know one another better. On the first day of school, they all got to know each other with playdough. Students all had to make something representing things they liked or about themselves. Lister sent home a letter to families asking them to write a note to her about their child. In addition, students also got to bring a bag about themselves to school containing four to six things inside to share with their classmates to teach them a little more about who they are. “It can be scary to start a new year, but now I feel like my students are ready to tackle the new year because they are already so bonded,” Lister said.

On the first day of school, first-grade students in Julieann Chappell's class took a safari around the school. They were on the lookout for animals as they learned where the office, library, and bathrooms were. Chappell feels this is a fun and exciting way to remind returning students where everything is at in the school and to teach new students where everything is.
