HS High School

From the Principal’s Desk

Last week was quite the week. As we continue to try to make the best decisions for our entire school community, it is understandable that sometimes emotions can run higher than usual. I want to thank all parents who have reached out to respectfully agree or disagree with the decisions and the work we are doing. Your input is valued and it is this type of open community that I am proud to be a part of every day.

MS Middle School

With the end of the quarter nearing, this week we saw many students engaging in summative assessments, providing teachers with feedback on how to improve the learning environment and participating in both Asynchronous and Synchronous learning. School certainly looks different from when we were in school, but we see learning can happen any time, anywhere! 
ES Elementary School

Dear ES Families,

In the spirit of flexibility (WOW), we are having a SPIRIT WEEK with our Primary School friends. Please see the details in the CCN. Parent Council Representatives also sent the information out to group chats on Friday. We are excited to have the students re-energize their creativity and bring it to Distance Learning this week!
Thank you for your Partnership!
PS Primary School

Dear Primary School Parents!   

The last week of October is here. Although we can't officially celebrate Halloween we have a few surprises planned for next week. So please mark your calendars with some exciting activities through zoom and in school.



Learning Center
Dear parents,

As we continue planning the best hybrid start for you and your children, we know that the hybrid start may be more challenging for students with special educational needs. Students with special educational needs may require more support to adapt to changes, learn new routines, and acquire new behavior expectations. The needs and challenges for students will be different depending on the age, grade level, and needs. With that in mind, your building level coordinators will be reaching out to you to provide you with age-appropriate resources and get your feedback and what specific areas of support your children may need. Through explicit teaching of expectations, guided practice, modeling, and frequent feedback we know children will make a successful transition and we are here to support you in this process. Stay tuned for more communication from your divisional coordinator.

Counselors 

Dear CNG Community, 

During the month of October Counselors and Teachers continue enhancing the Responsibility trait aligned with the Character Strong Program. 

Taking responsibility for ourselves and our community makes us better people and the world a better place. Here’s an excellent article related to the importance of this: Help Kids and Adults take Responsibility for Building their own Character.
 
As always, do not hesitate to contact us if you need any support, and remember you can do this through our Counseling Hub.

Athletics & Condor Activities

In the book “The Whole-Brain Child,” Daniel J. Siegel states “the moments you are just trying to survive are actually opportunities to help your child thrive.” Our activities and athletics department has been doing a great job of surviving and thriving in virtual learning. With the latest news of not being able to progress towards on-campus learning yet, we will continue with the mindset of surviving yet still thriving to adapt, learn, and improve ourselves daily building community and keeping connection. 

You may have noticed our Instagram post of Condor Activities sending cooking kits to students’ homes. This is a perfect example of CNG continually thriving in the midst of a pandemic. Our instructors and coaching staff appreciate our students’ ability to stay engaged and passionate while participating in activities and athletics. 


GO CONDORS!!!
