Compass Odyssey Available 24 - 7
Parents and students will remember from our spring orientation activities that we were planning to use Compass Odyssey as an enrichment program in mathematics and reading. Students have been going to the Compass Odyssey lab every two weeks as a part of their math instruction. We are now encouraging students to access Compass Odyssey from home. Information on how to access this program from home were sent home with students this past week. Additionally, we have posted this information under the "Parent/Student Information" tab on our school website.
For parents looking for an additional instructional tool to enhance the child's mathematics and reading skills we highly encourage you to have your child log onto Compass Odyssey. We would like to encourage parents to work out a routine schedule for logging on for usage of this program! If you have additional questions regarding this item please contact Reni Fenton through the main office (346-5650).

Teachers are Highlighted in the Daily Record
We are so excited that our teachers were recently featured in the "Daily Record"! The article referenced a number of our teachers painting paws down Bay Street to the stadium. This was done as a part of our partnership with the Downtown Chamber of Commerce. The photo above is taken from the newspaper.
The article highlights the work which the Downtown Chamber intends to do with our eighth grade students enrolled in the Leadership Elective. At the conclusion of this course each group of students will create a presentation regarding their leadership research project. These presentations will judged by members of the Downtown Chamber.
This is a tremendous partnership which we continue to be so excited about!
