Social Zooms!  

Now that we are back in distance learning the need for connection and community is of great importance. Katie Goforth and Julie Ruhl will be hosting grade level Social Zooms for all students throughout the day every Friday. Social Zooms are intended to be an unstructured space for kids to connect. Ms. Katie and Mrs. Ruhl are hosting the Zoom, but the purpose of the Social Zoom is to allow students to connect organically. They will ensure the Zoom remains school appropriate, safe and comfortable for all students!  

There is a social zoom in the morning and one in the afternoon to accommodate different family needs.  

In Sixth Grade, the Social Zooms will be from 9:45-10:15am and 1:30-2:00pm. 

Here is the AM [9:45 am] Link: https://zoom.us/j/99075578967?pwd=RWtscDY4ZGtxc3NRcGpYTzlBVWkyQT09 

Here is the PM [1:30pm] Link: https://zoom.us/j/98861376899?pwd=SmF6ZlprMlUwQSs2aEhSNkZMUmhXQT09 

Passwords for each meeting are posted in your student’s Teams.  

Social Zooms are completely optional! You can join none, one, or both!  

Ms. Katie and Mrs. Ruhl will be monitoring the Zoom to maintain school expectations. If there are concerns during the Zoom, they will provide warnings and redirect behavior, but if the behavior continues, the student may be removed from the Zoom.  

If you have any questions, please email [email protected] - we hope to see your student Friday!

Original Works:   

It is that time of year for our annual ‘Original Works’ fundraiser. For those who are new to the school or for those who have forgotten – because of all the things we have to remember these days – this is a fundraiser where kids create artwork in the “classroom”, and families have an opportunity to purchase products with their creative artwork on them. The school gets a percentage of all sales. This is typically our 3rd largest single fundraiser of the year, but with things being so different, it has the potential to be one of our largest fundraisers for the current school year.   

*Please see the Look What’s Coming and the Parent Ordering Form attachments for more details.   

Important Original Works Dates:   

Late November to Early December – Products will be delivered directly to families’ homes.
