LaunchED Picture of the Week: Learning in Action!
Gearing Up for the End of the Semester
One of our values in LaunchED is helping to build community in our school and with our students. Recently, our 9th grade advisory recognized that this coming week can be a stressful time for high school students as they wrap up the semester–so the class co-created messages of inspiration to share with all of our students to encourage everyone to finish the semester strong!
Please see this fall semester finals schedule for Dec 17-19. This schedule applies to all of our 6th-12th grade classes for these days.
