Quote of the Week:

“We need joy as we need air. We need love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.” -Maya Angelou

This Week's Link(s):

Mission: Joy Is an amazing Netflix Documentary that is filled with wisdom, love and joy. It is worth your time for sure. The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu give deep insight on how to find happiness in troubled times. Mission Joy also provides neuroscience to support how you CAN create Joy in your own life, as they say, “It’s an inside job.”

Updates:

Reminder - from Shannon: Steve Sheinkin, a successful children's author, will be visiting our school on Monday, March 13 to talk to our students about their latest book, Fallout. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet an accomplished author and learn more about the writing process. During the visit, Steve Sheinkin will give a presentation sharing their writing process and favorite books and answering questions from the audience.

The schedule will be: HS: 11:15-12:15 (students who are interested should go to flex, check in, and then report directly to the Auditorium)

QUARTER 3 Grading TIMELINE

Contracts As you know, the school budget passed! Thanks to anyone who helped to make that happen, which is all of you because you've earned the trust of our community. Thank you.

Thus, teacher contracts for next year will likely be issued soon. (Non-licensed contracts will follow.) We are excited to have you return and very much appreciate your commitment to PA. Please remember that the new negotiated teacher contract requires you to return your new contract within TWENTY DAYS (not 30 (the previous # of days)).

Please take note on the scheduled testing to occur in the building starting in April listed below.
