Article of the Week
The article this week comes from the Responsive Classroom research. There is an art and science to getting students to respond to redirection successfully. The article this week highlights strategies all teachers should use to be successful in these efforts that can lead to frustration.

End of Quarter 3 Information
Quarter #3 will be officially in the books by the end of the day on Friday (3/23). We will run report cards starting on Wednesday (4/4), so please have your grades and comments complete by then. As a reminder, students that have an NE in any standard should be spending lunch time and after school times working to improve their performance. Parents should be in the loop and working with us to get the kids back on track.

Upcoming All School Assembly
We will be having a Middle School Assembly on Friday, 4/6 at 2:25 in the 1-8 Gym. We will highlight students, build momentum for the Forward Exam effort, and have another Carelli Cup Event.
Hoops 4 Hearts Success!!
Another great event is in the books. Thanks to all who played a role in planning this event. We had another packed house, and some intense moments that ultimately led to a staff victory, and more importantly, a good time had by all.
Safety Drill Recap
I thought our lockdown drill was executed very well. When we are in lockdown, it is a little spooky how quiet it is in the hallways, and it is hard to believe that we actually have so many people in the building. Please keep me and guidance in the loop on any concerns that may have come out of the discussion before or after the drill. Our Safety Committee will debrief and continue to fine tune our safety plan. Thanks for your diligence and appropriate communication with our students.
It's getting closer...The Middle School will be testing from Monday, April 9th through Monday, April 16th. Students will be taking the exam in their normal classes (ELA during ELA class time, Math during Math class time). You can view the testing schedule HERE.
