This was a question asked of our students on a quick feedback survey following the first day.

As you can see, our students are overwhelmingly positive about the support they feel they will have this year on the Beacon Team. We would like our parents and guardians to know that we will support your children as they continue forward on the path of growing into independent thinkers and learners.
We hope that the student who disagreed with his/ her peers on feeling supported, did this in jest. Regardless of whether or not one is joking, we are here to help all of our students find success in seventh grade this year.
Some of the activities students were a part of on the first day
Overcoming Obstacles
Prompt: Think about how this is a new year and how you have the opportunity to start fresh. Tear or crumple up your paper and throw it away! You are free to be the best person that you can be; leave your issues from last year in the trash.
Action: Think about how this is a new year and how you have the opportunity to start fresh. Tear or crumple up your paper and throw it away! You are free to be the best person that you can be; leave your issues from last year in the trash.
The Beacon Team is looking forward to feeding or igniting a passion for learning and inquiry in our students this year! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
