Happy February! Our 7C of the month is "Critically Competent", which we define as skilled at processing and applying information and ideas by...
- being competent in district BV Essentials
- using specific thinking strategies to learn and make meaning
- engaging in a cycle of rational thought to inquire, investigate, reason, and solve problems

Avery Parsons students have been making interdiscplinary connections in their Enrichment class with Mrs. Atha by learning coding! Before getting to the computers, students learned all about grids, coordinates, and the language of coding. They used stuffed animals to track a journey across the state of Colorado using a giant, classroom-sized map.
This foundation-setting ensured that by the time they starting working with the code.org, students understood the basic connections they would need to make the most of their interactive coding tasks.

School board members recently visited Mr. Bever's and Mr. Cope's math classes during a learning walk. In Mr. Cope's class, students were taking everyday questions, conducting research and data collection, then using math (ratios) to draw conclusions.
They then determined if their conclusions could be verified and fact checking social media claims! A key element of being "Connected" is applying information to authentic situations using credible sources effectively. Mr. Cope's lesson checked every box! And, to cap it all, this work was being done in preparation for a large scale research project that will connect ELA reading, writing and research skills with math in coming days.
Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! Students are spending the day honoring the work Martin Luther King, Jr. today. We'll post some photos later of some activities!
It's a big week for basketball and wrestling - so much so that we couldn't fit all the events on one graphic! Check out the athletic schedule for full details on high school basketball, middle school basketball, and wrestling.
Monday, January 16, our school community celebrates Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ALL SCHOOLS WILL BE IN SESSION as we dedicate our time and lessons to honoring the legacy of Dr. King’s teachings. Through love, Dr. King moved our nation to stand for dignity for every human. As we look back, we purposefully come together on this day to look forward to together, find ways to serve others, defend our neighbors, and stand for dignity. We welcome our students to school for lesson reminders of our 7 Cs in honor of Dr. King. “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” Dr. King
