February is "Love a Bus" month and this week happens to be Bus Driver Appreciation Week. We are so grateful for our outstanding COMET FLEET!
Our bus drivers go above and beyond each day to ensure our precious cargo arrives safely to school and back home. Every single day, rain or shine! Their dedication, care, and commitment do not go unnoticed.
Comet families: please take a moment this week to say thank you to your bus driver for all they do to support our comet community.

Who says math can’t be fun? Our Algebra A students are taking learning to the next level by playing Battleship! With a math twist!
Instead of ships on a grid, students are placing linear graphs as their “ships.” To score a hit (and eventually sink a ship!), classmates must guess the equation that matches each graph. As the game goes on, students use what they’ve learned about slope-intercept form to make smarter guesses and refine their thinking.
This hands-on activity turns problem-solving, strategy, and collaboration into an engaging learning experience, and proves that math really can be a game changer!

HAPPY COUNSELORS WEEK!! This week, we are celebrating our amazing school counselors and the incredible impact they have on our students every single day. From offering guidance and encouragement to being a listening ear when it’s needed most, our counselors truly go above and beyond to ensure our students feel supported, valued, and heard. Our school is a better place because of you!

Before break, 3rd grade wrapped up their first Wit and Wisdom module “Into the Sea” where they participated in Socratic Seminars, analyzed the text for central messages, and used nonfiction text features to further their learning. To celebrate, everyone enjoyed watching Disney’s “Oceans” movie while enjoying ocean themed snacks” 🌊

Have you received your letter? Something magical is happening in 4th grade! Some of our 4th graders have officially joined a Harry Potter Book Club and were randomly sorted into the four Hogwarts houses!
Each week, students are reading assigned chapters, taking fun quizzes, and participating in activities, crafts, and group discussions, all while earning house points along the way. We can’t wait to have our first quidditch match next week and watch their love of reading grow.
