*Picture Makeups are Tuesday, November 5 at 9am. We will also be taking a group photo with our BMS kiddos.

In October's SEL lesson, students have the opportunity to reflect on moments when they chose a path that was challenging but ultimately worth it. They can write and share their 'Harder But Worth It' experiences, and have the opportunity to add their thoughts to our community wall. This activity encourages personal growth, perseverance, and the value of making tough but rewarding choices!

Here is the link with the October SEL Lesson

 

One of the lovely things Arete homeschool parents do is limit their children’s screen time. We wholeheartedly agree. One time this becomes a little  tricky is when kiddos need to type. Typing/ keyboarding is a skill they will need in life, school, and on assessments. In comprehensive schools, students usually start typing practice in second grade for 20 minutes about two-three times a week. There are websites that make this fun and easy for kids and families. Please consider checking out one of these programs to support your kiddos in this area.  Please email Carrie at [email protected] if you need assistance.

We are a NUT FREE campus. Please save nut snacks for while at home. Also, we have some other class specific allergies, so please email Sarah and the classroom teacher BEFORE bringing in birthday treats.  We are also working towards a healthier campus and encourage snacks/treats that align with that. Low and zero waste items are preferred.
