The Portrait of a Tiger Trait for April is "Problem-Solver". Our Tigers are problem solvers! They promote intellectual curiosity, actively listen and learn while collaborating with others, and approach problems using a variety of methods to convey different ideas and perspectives effectively. They also value the input of others.
Instilling the skill of problem solving develops happier, more independent adults while reinforcing other skills like resilience.
Our Makerspace never skip a beat! They went right to exploring and building using Native American beadwork art 📿
As we head into the school year's final stretch, ensure you're staying connected! Our school app is a great place to see upcoming events, news, and more. Rooms is the two-way communication tool built into the app. For Parents & Guardians who have not connected with Rooms yet, keep an eye out for a text and email that will help you log in, making communication with your student’s teachers and coaches easier than ever.
The best part? Once you log in for the first time, you’re all set for the entire time your child is in the district - no need to register again! Stay informed, stay engaged, and finish strong together!
