News from the Behavior Facilitators

We are excited to share with you a collection of videos aimed at supporting your child's social-emotional learning and development. These videos cover essential topics such as anxiety, setting boundaries, executive functioning skills, and managing emotions.

By watching these videos together, you can gain valuable insights and practical strategies to help your child navigate challenges, build resilience, and thrive both academically and emotionally.

We encourage you to explore these resources as a family and open up discussions on these important subjects. Together, we can create a supportive environment for your child to grow and succeed.

5th Grade Clap Out Information

It is that time again to host our annual tradition of the 5th-grade Clap Out! Many students and families look forward to this tradition and we are excited to be able to celebrate our fifth-grade students as they move on to middle school!

The clap-out will be on Tuesday, May 28th at 1:45 pm.

The clap-out will take place outside (weather permitting) around the walking path. A map of the clap-out route can be found below. Parents, please arrive by 1:35 to find a spot on the inside of the walking path.

We ask that you do not stop your child to take a picture during the clapout. Pictures can be taken after school in front of the 5th-grade Graduate banner that will be hung on one of the baseball backstops.

Following the conclusion of the Clap Out, you may take your child home by signing them out with their homeroom teacher.

In the event of inclement weather, the clap-out will be held indoors and parents will be in the gym.

6th Grade Step Up Knight

Our next 6th-grade transition event is our Step-Up Knight, which will be held on Tuesday, April 30th at 6:30 p.m. in the Harter gymnasium. This is a family night and we encourage parents and children to attend. Please park in the back parking lot and enter through doors 16 or 20. The evening begins in the gym where I will say a few words. After that, our school is open for self-guided tours and we will also have informational tables set up in the gym. We do ask that students and families sit together in the gym and stay together for the self-guided tours.
