Ms. Galvin's Math Class completed a unit on Volume and Surface area of geometric figures. Students had to make an animal using a prism, cylinder, cone, and sphere. The students then had to measure the dimensions and calculate the volume and surface area of each component and calculate the total. Students displayed their calculations on a poster and presented their animal. The students did an AMAZING JOB!!!

Congrats to our Students of the Month for October and to our Teacher/Staff of the month as well! Briggs is so proud of your hard work!!!

Be sure to visit some of our Gifted and Talented students that are set up in the Early Childhood, Elementary and Middle School Buildings. They have free hygiene items to give away. The soaps smells great!!! These students carry a strong leadership trait and possess an exceptional ability to relate to and motivate others. They have the ability to convince people to act or not act in specific ways. Leaders are often self-confident and comfortable with their peers. Characteristics may include influencing peers, being sought out by others to accomplish a task, addressing a need, holding high expectations for self and others, demonstrating or delegating responsibility, and internalizing concepts of right and wrong.

This is a reminder of our cell phone policy. The cell phone policy can be found on page 20 in the student handbook. You may access the student handbook from our website or from the provided link. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we strive to provide learning opportunities, free of distractions. Please view the handbook here. https://5il.co/2bdyv Cell Phone Policy Student cell phones, air pods, bluetooth headphones, or smart watches will need to be powered off during school hours. We understand that it is difficult to feel out of touch with your student, but parents can call the office to relay messages. If students need to talk to their parents they can come to the office or use the school phones in the classroom. Some of the difficulties we face with hundreds of cell phones being used by students include the possibility of: Students taking pictures/videos of other students without permission and posting to social media. Students continuously checking their phones during class. Students watching movies/video clips, or listening to music during class. Students participating in group texts/chats during the school day. Students bullying other students through group texts/chats. Students who violate this policy will have their device placed in the main office and returned to them at the end of the day. In case of emergency situations students will be allowed to use their phones.
