Good afternoon, RJ Grey Families:

I hope you are doing well. This will be a brief message this week.

We have several different cycles of grading and changing classes here at RJ Grey. At the end of October, we moved from Quarter 1 to Quarter 2 for our PE and Health classes and many of our Grey Block electives. Hopefully, your children have talked positively about their new classes. In late January, we'll wrap up our Exploratory classes, which are classes like Art, Digital Literacy, and Engineering, for example. We are flexible in scheduling our off-team classes to make sure that students are exposed to a wide variety of options in their classes and try to keep the classes long enough to lead to significant learning. Coming up before Thanksgiving (Nov 26), we will end Trimester 1, which is for our on-team classes. These on-team classes (think Math, English, etc.) will lead to students earning a letter grade on a report card, issued in December. 

Over the past few weeks in Advisory, we have been talking about gratitude. Last week, we watched a brief video that highlighted the importance of gratitude. We've challenged students to keep track of things they are grateful for. Things like family, friends, and pets at home were common among our student responses. I continue to be grateful for a very hard-working set of teachers, a really kind set of students, and a supportive set of families. Thank you for your continued support of our work at RJ Grey.

Take care and have a good weekend,
Jim
