Walk & Roll
On September 25th Educators Rising students attended their first expo of the year. The day started off with a heartfelt message about education from our keynote speaker, followed by breakout sessions where students were engaged in a variety of hands on activities. Some of the breakout sessions the students attended featured Physical education and how movement is essential in the classroom, Special Education and how to customize teaching for all in a fun interactive way. Others attended how to integrate virtual reality headsets and robots in the classroom. and some students attended sessions to learn about FREE COLLEGE CREDIT, and how to apply to college. It was an amazing day and the students are looking forward to our next expo held at Briar Cliff next week Oct 7th.

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

We’ve had a great start to the school year, and it’s hard to believe we are already past the Quarter 1 midterm!

To help keep our school safe and healthy, the district will be installing vape detectors and noise sensors in all middle and high school bathrooms and select locker rooms this week.

These devices do not record audio or video to protect student privacy. They simply alert designated staff if vaping is detected or if an unusually loud disturbance occurs, allowing us to respond promptly and appropriately.

Thank you for your support as we continue working together to maintain a positive, safe learning environment for all.

Respectfully,

Dr. Philip Schonebaum

Mrs. Jensen’s 5th graders were on a mission to encourage smiles, today!

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. A positive note might seem small, but it can make a big difference.
