Next Week is Screen Free Week
We hope that many of our students and families will join the fun and turn off their screens for 7 consecutive days. You can begin on Saturday, Sunday or Monday and continue for 7 days in a row… as long as the 7th day is completed by Monday, April 30.
For entertainment, participants are able to read, daydream, explore, enjoy nature, and spend time with family and friends. This annual celebration gives children, families, schools and communities a chance to turn off screens and turn on life.
Screens can still be used for homework and business but not for entertainment. The idea of this week is to find and enjoy other means of amusement and socializing for seven days.

Looking Ahead…
High School Information Night for 7th Grade Parents is May 10 at 6pm
All 7th grade parents are invited and strongly encouraged to attend this informational meeting about the high school application process. Now is a great time to begin talking as a family about goals and plans for high school. Don’t let the admissions process become overwhelming. Come and get some basic information to help you start planning for this next step in your child’s education.
Students will get a lot of support for this process next year, so this meeting is for parents only.
