Middle Schools are excited to implement monthly Club Days! Each middle school has scheduled time for students to develop a sense of belonging by embedding various club activities. This month, our students participated in robotics, dancing, volleyball, coding, gardening, Best Buddies, Frisbee Fun, Yahtzee, Pokemon, jazz band, scrapbook junking, Breakout Boxes, Dungeons & Dragons, and Girls’ Flag football, to name a few. A huge shout-out to our teachers and administrators for bringing this to life. We are thrilled about connecting our students with their varied interests and each other. |
Great news! Parents and guardians already have an Observer Canvas account set up by the district. The account uses the same email you have listed in Skyward.
