Hello Trailblazer Families,  We hope you have a nice three day weekend with your families.  A reminder that there is no school on Monday, January 18th in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  When you are picking up and dropping off students, please remember to be wearing a mask while on Diamond Creek Campus.  Our goal is to keep our students in school and keep all of our students and staff healthy.  Thank you for your help and support.  We had a Village Meeting on Thursday, January 14th. Our students continued learning and reviewing  Habit #4: I am Mindful of Others.  The essentials we are focusing on right now are being mindful of body language and tone of voice as well as responding to others respectfully. Students watched a video in which they had to make note of positive and negative body language. We talked about how our stance, our arms, and the way we move our body can send a negative or positive message to others.  Our goal is to pra...

Hello Trailblazer Families,  We hope you had a relaxing break with your families and new memories were made together!  Students jumped right back into learning this week on site and in our Champions Academy. It was great to see their smiles under those masks on campus.  They had lots to share and seemed excited to be back at school. An email was sent on Monday which explains our iReady diagnostic that all students K-5 are taking over the next few weeks. This is a diagnostic assessment that is taken three times throughout the year. Teachers use this data to measure progress, assign intervention and extension for students and determine which areas in ELA and Math are strengths and areas of need.  Please ask your classroom teacher for more specific dates and classroom information related to iReady.  Students are working on this assessment sometime between January 5th through January 29th.  We have a Village Meeting coming up this week on Thursday, January 14th...
