- We will use this time to ensure everyone is on the same page for the Friday assembly schedule and to discuss any needs for Outdoor Education upon our return.
- Extended Advisory week with the focus on Huddle Time.
- For those new to the building... Huddle time is intended to be used for students to catch up an their work prior to break. Each advisory teacher should sit one on one with each student in your advisory to discuss their current grades and needs prior to break. If students are caught up on their work then students should be reading quietly. 7th grade students have a literature circle book to read and I am guessing 8th grade would have their independent choice book to read.
