From our assistant principal, Amanda Novak: 

I am excited to announce that we are instituting Coffee Talks for our High School parents, guardians, students, and community. Throughout this school year, I have received parent feedback that our community may benefit from occasional gatherings intended to inform and encourage discussion, perspective, and input.  As we continue to build our High School culture, it is important that you are part of this process. 

 

Our first Coffee Talk will be held during Winter Conferences - details below - and will cover basic changes and concerns in the High School this year. There have been questions about new procedures, systems, agreements, and more. We are opening the table for authentic discussion, so join us! After our first meeting, we will host Coffee Talks during Quarters 3 and 4 around topics such as Vaping, Substance Abuse, Mood and Emotions, and more (if you have any great ideas, please send them my way!). We will host some talks in the morning, some right after school, and some in the evenings. We know you are busy people and we want to accommodate you the best we can. Please consider joining us, and as usual, do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns.  

 

What: Coffee Talk - High School Basics (Systems, Procedures, General Concerns, all the things)  

When: Thursday, December 20th at 6:00pm 

Where: In the High School Community Space 

There will be coffee! 

 

  • Remember, if you have any questions on high school events or issues, your first stop is with your advocate, followed by the team lead, Mr. Sturr, and then on to the appropriate administrator.
