Principal Choice had the pleasure of catching up with Cameron today for a Warrior Walk (Check & Connect)! 🌟
Cameron is an exceptional student who shines in the classroom and on the football field. He has good attendance, excellent grades, and a great attitude. When asked about his academic success, Cameron shared what he has learned over his middle school years:
✅Don't procrastinate when you have projects, start early so you can finish by the due date.
✅Pay attention in class, you can't learn when you're distracted.
✅Don't lie to your parents and say you don't have homework when you do....study by doing your homework as practice.
Thanks for being the brand Cameron, we're so proud of you. Scholars, get ready, you may be next for a Warrior Walk!

📣 Reminder for Warrior Families: Monday, September 22, will be an Asynchronous Learning Day. Students will not attend in-person classes. We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend and returns ready for a great week ahead! 💙💛
Some assessments are used for learning and some are of learning. Mr. Izquierdo's eighth graders are working collaboratively in small groups to gauge their understanding before taking the individual assessment next week.

🩺💙 Dr. Scott’s 6th Grade Healthcare Science students are diving into the Cardiovascular System!
Students practiced labeling and explored the differences between veins and arteries by comparing and contrasting how they work in the body. Hands-on learning like this helps build a strong foundation for future healthcare pathways!

Ms. Williams and Mrs. Young keep math engaging with a variety of instructional strategies in their eighth grade classroom!
✏️Students first sort equations into categories—one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.
✏️Next, in their small groups, they apply math to the real world by using money to solve and interpret their solutions.
✏️To wrap it up, students collaborate at the whiteboards in pairs, working together to practice solving word problems.

Mr. Dillon keeps his sixth graders actively engaged with a multi-faceted lesson designed to strengthen their math skills and confidence. His instruction weaves together reciprocal teaching, modeling, fluency reviews, guided and independent practice, and collaborative pair work at the whiteboards.

Eighth graders are wrapping up the fourth phase of their book study project!
📚Phase 1: Students analyzed song lyrics and chose a "lead single" that connects to the novel.
📚Phase 2: Students built a full soundtrack of five songs tied to characters, struggles, and events.
📚Phase 3: They wrote music-blogger style reviews linking quotes from the text to song lyrics.
📚Phase 4: Students are creating presentations (digital slideshow, physical display, or video pitch) to share their soundtracks.
Ms. Franklin conferences with each student to provide them with personalized feedback and help them strengthen their ideas every step of the way.
