Just a reminder–Open House Times!
We are excited to share some amazing opportunities for our LaunchED students to explore their future career and academic paths! We highly encourage all parents to mark their calendars for the Innovation Center (IC) Open House and the Career Elevation Technology Center (CETC) Open House in December (click here for schedule). These events are the best way to hear firsthand how our LaunchED students can access and benefit from these dynamic, specialized programs, while also being a student in LaunchED.
Before those open houses, we are bringing this information directly to our students. We will be hosting a special virtual assembly on November 17th at 10:30 AM for all students in grades 8th through 11th in their Advisory class. Representatives from both the Innovation Center and CETC will join us to discuss the programs available. We will also send a recording of this assembly home to families so that you can review this information with your student about potential opportunities at the IC and the CETC in the future!
Important Dates & Upcoming Events:
Nov 24-28th: Thanksgiving Break-No School!
December 3rd: Late start for students
December 17th-19th: Final Exam Schedule 6th-12th Grade
Dec 22-Jan 5: Winter Break for Students
Student Art of the Week! MS Art
MS Art students are currently learning about color theory. 7th grader Aria Kane showed her understanding of warm and cool color schemes by creating this “hot dog and cool cat” inspired by artist Laurel Burch, using the Procreate app on her iPad.
